  1. I have created a "cheat sheet" for my #EV
    I also have a runabout, small car I will be selling very soon that's miserly on Gas (I'm comparing against)

    Thanks to the Pedo King, petrol in #Australia is U$5.3/gallon or A$2.20/L

    Basically it costs 80% less to run the EV when charged on offpeak power (0-6AM).
    Practically free on Solar.

    It costs
    A$13.20/100km on Gas
    A$2.4/100km (offpeak) Peak load is basically x2

    Another bonus is knowing every time I drive, it makes tRump and carbon polluters cry.

    I also have a massive 5L cc petrol 4WD trailer puller I re-mortgage me home every time I fillup, I am not thinking about. I just turned the engine over because it sat in the yard unused for 4 weeks.
    I'm being pressured to sell it 😬
