So, a Tesla Model 3 averages 3.33 to 4.17 miles per KWH. So let’s say a 100 mile round trip will be between 23.98 KWH and 30.03 KWH based on the above numbers.

PG&E currently charges me $0.36/KWH off peak charging in the east bay, California. Waiting to switch to the EV2 plan at $0.27/KWH.

So, a 100 mile trip can cost $8.6328 to $10.8108. Without my 5.6 KWH solar system tied into my equation.

So, let’s now take a Toyota Corolla Hybrid MPG of 51 city and 53 highway with an average of 52 MPG for the equation.

Gas is about $4.37 to $4.99 for 87 octane depending what station you go per gas buddy in my area.

So, a 100 mile round trip at 52 MPG is 1.92 gallons of gas. The cost is $8.3904 to $9.5808 for gas.

Any hybrid getting more that 50 MPG is a better buy cost savings wise than an EV now, unless you have solar on your home.

Sure a gas car has more maintenance, but we are only talking EV to fuel.

I bought solar for $16,240 and got a 30% rebate. So, basically it’s free charging for me, but I had to spend that money.

So if you are on the fence, a Hybrid is prob the best call and cheaper, but the Tesla is more fun to drive! ;)
