How much electricity does an electric car use per mile?
For a 2012 Nissan Leaf, its average rated efficiency of 99 MPGe translates to 34 kilowatt-hours per 100 miles. Just multiply that by your electric cost. So if you pay the U.S. average of 12 cents/kWh, the Leaf will cost you $4.08 to go 100 miles (versus $16 in a 25-mpg car with gas at $4/gallon).

Is charging an electric car cheaper than gas?
Electric car savings can vary significantly between states. In Washington State, the cost of charging an electric car is as low as 84 cents per gallon. In Hawaii, where electricity and gasoline are more expensive, fueling an electric vehicle costs $3.69 per gallon, only a few cents less than a gallon of gas.

How long does it take to fully charge a Tesla?
From zero to 300 miles would take about 52 hours at that rate. With a single onboard charger connected to a 240-volt outlet, which Tesla recommends, the pace can reach speeds up to 31 miles of range for each hour of charging, meaning a full 300-mile charge takes less than 9.5 hours.

How many kwh does an electric car use?
If electricity costs $0.11 per kWh and the vehicle consumes 34 kWh to travel 100 miles, the cost per mile is about $0.04. If electricity costs $0.11 per kilowatt-hour, charging an all-electric vehicle with a 70-mile range (assuming a fully depleted 24 kWh battery) will cost about $2.64 to reach a full charge.

How much does it cost to charge a Volt at home?
Assuming a 80% charging efficiency it would take 23 KWH to charge it completely. The cost depends on the rate you pay for electricity. I pay about 20 cents per KWH, I think the national range is about 10 to 20 cents per KWH. So your Volt would take $2.30 to $4.60 to charge completely.

How much energy is produced by solar panels?
Using 4 hours of full sun, gives you this equation: 250 watts x 4 hours. That's 1 kWh (1,000 watts) in a day per 250-watt panel. If you multiply 1kWh per panel by 30 days in a month, you'll find that each 250 watt rated panel will produce about 30 kWh in an average month.

Is Joules power or energy?
The unit of energy is the "Joule" - a Watt is just a flow of one Joule per second. The other popular unit of power is the "horsepower". The conversion is that one horsepower = 756 Watts. A 100-HP car would be able to turn a 75,600 - Watt electrical generator, or 75.6 kilowatts.
