Clean Tech News & Views: EVs, Solar Energy, Batteries

I recently came across a very interesting post on X, or Twitter, or whatever Elon identifies it as these days. An EV owner had a free charging plan for his Hyundai Ioniq 5, included at the time of sale. This, of course, made road trips easy and fun, as there was no direct cost for charging. But, the party recently ended:

Sadly, many Electrify America stations elsewhere are priced just as expensively if not more than the far better Pilot/Flying J stations. And, you get nothing special when paying the same price at such places. While Electrify America has massively improved reliability this year at many locations, the amenities are often severely lacking. At night, there are no restrooms .

Assuming $3/gallon gasoline , the fuel cost per mile for the average American vehicle is about 12 cents/mile. That’s what people driving across the middle of the United States are paying in their gas-powered machines today. A comparable EV gets in the ballpark of 3 miles/kWh. So, when prices are 64 cents/kWh, that’s a fuel cost of 21.3 cents/mile, almost double what a comparable gas car is paying to get down the road.
