Comparing Costs EV vs Hybrid
Well I did a little homework and figured out comparable costs between a leading EV (The Phoenix SUV pictured below) and the leading Hybrid (A Toyota Prius). My numbers are all in Australia Dollars and are based on web research, and km/tank are direct from a Prius owner.
Prius - AUD$37000
600km per tank - 36L tank * AUD$1.15 = $41.40 / 6 = $6.9/100km
Phoenix - AUD$57000
160km per charge - 35kWh capacity * 0.07c/kWh = 2.45 / 1.6 = $1.53/100km
The figures show the EV puts $800 in your pocket every year over the Hybrid! That is the EV Phoenix SUV cost only 22% of what the Prius costs, and the Prius is considered THE most fuel economic car you can currently buy!!
Using another example: Say you have a fleet of 50 cars, and want to lease EVs, lets look at fuel savings over a 4 year lease with an average weekly usage of just 300km, which I think is probably quite low.
Hybrid - 300km/pw * $6.90 = $20.70 per week * 52 weeks * 4 years * 50 cars = $215,250
EV - 300km/pw * $1.53 = $4.59 per week * 52 weeks * 4 years * 50 cars = $ 47,600
So the EV provides a saving over 4 years of $167,650.
