Evs are meant to save you money but you end up spending more than petrol that you pump over the years.
I don't get you ev drivers
Cost and efficiency for day trip from Subang Jaya to Gua Musang.
Total Distance: 580km (290km each way)
Battery SOC: 100% to 40% from Subang Jaya to Gua Musang, @ 125wh/km
Charge at DC Handal Gua Musang 47kW DC: 40% to 90%, 45min, negligible as it is lunch time
Battery SOC: 90% to 35% from Gua Musang to Subang Jaya @ 113wh/km
Travel time each way: approx 4 hours
Car: Tesla Model 3 RWD @ 60kwh battery
Charging Cost: DC charging 33kWh @ RM1.3 = RM42.90, actual figure recorded from the charger display
Charging Cost: AC charging 43kWh @ RM0.7 (assuming worst rate for residential tariff with RM0.10 TNB surcharge plus SST etc) = RM30.10, already considered charging efficiency of 90%
Total Charging Cost = RM73 or 35.6l petrol equivalent
Equivalent petrol consumption efficiency: 580/35.6 = 16.3km/l
My house is with solar roof so my AC charging cost is much lower as my solar electricity cost is approx RM0.3/kwh, so my actual total charging cost would be lower at about RM55.80 or 27.2l petrol equivalent @ 21.3km/l equivalent petrol efficiency
