Average watts per mile

[David Towle]

However, when “evangelizing” at Drive Electric Week and EVolveKY EV events, I found that the general public doesn’t understand all these metics. What does get their attention is when I tell them I get 140 MPGe in the summer and 110 in the winter and that is like paying less than 50 cents a gal for gas.

Ken please show some calculations for how you get to 50 cents per gallon gas equivalent. My number here is about $3.00. I know your electricity is a lot cheaper than mine but is it really around 4 cents per kWh?
Or are you comparing to the gas mileage of other cars rather than the 50 mpg I regularly get with my Clarity?

i have been tracking my energy usage on my clarity. my data is located here

This is done with the provided level 1 charger. I am averaging about .3kwhr of electricity usage per mile.

I will keep updating the spreadsheet as time goes by. Interested in knowing what the usage will be in fall and winter. I live in chicago.
