Apr 1, 2016 · This tool was built based on a number of threads i've read about cost of EV vs ICEV cars (usually purchase costs vs comparable cars, maintenance costs and of course fuel/electricity running costs). I've tried to do an impartial and fair year-by-year analysis/comparison of costs which properly...

Oct 19, 2016 · And especially hard to do with non-Tesla EV's with only an 85 mile range. An 85 mile one way commute (completely draining the battery) is 85*2*5*50=42,500/year.

Aug 27, 2021 · I.e. about 3.5% difference for an ICEV getting 28 to 29 mpg. But remember that EVs use 1/4 to 1/3 the energy compared to similar size and shape ICEVs, so the same amount of additional energy lost to additional tire rolling resistance will be more like a 10.5% to 14% difference between best and worst for an EV.

Nov 8, 2024 · One thing I can say though : driving my Tesla 500 miles isn’t as hard on me as driving an ICEV 500 miles. The 15-20 minutes stops every 2-2,5 hours are what makes the drive effortless. Plus the AP or FSD that allows me to have a lot easier driving experience.

Jan 9, 2022 · Many Tesla service centers are not allowed to do work on ICEVs because they got zoning/land use approval for the service centers for working on EVs only (i.e. for service centers that were placed in areas not zoned for automotive servicing due to the polution and hazardous materials associated with ICEV servicing).

Nov 8, 2024 · It is to be noted that a Tesla trip that is longer than its range, it is the equivalent of driving an ICEV at a speed of 65 mph the whole trip. To be more specific, if you have to drive 500 miles, in an ICEV at 75 mph you'll cover the distance in 7 hours (you'll need a 15 minutes brake to fill up), and driving in a Tesla you cover it in 7h40 ...

Aug 29, 2018 · I'm really looking forward to watching the Legacy Automakers figure out the path to solvency once it becomes illegal to sell any ICEV's. Even taking the legislation favoring EV's out of the equation, in 5 years, why would anyone want an ICEV? The paradox facing their business model is truly satisfying to watch unfold.

Jan 23, 2021 · Depends on how you define "comparable." I give you the BMW 3-series GT and the Honda CrossTour. Both are slightly taller than a sedan, have hatchbacks with excellent cargo space.

Nov 1, 2013 · 8 inches would be fine and realistically probably significantly more. In fact there is more danger of you floating away than damaging the car from water ingress to the electrics, especially in moving water - tho even here you would fair much better in a Model S than in an equivalent ICEV due to its significantly higher weight.

Apr 8, 2022 · Regardless, I made the same comment after my first test-drive of a Model 3P: It felt somewhat "limited" from 0-10 mph. Now I realize that this reaction was a combination of the truth PLUS the smoothness of the acceleration ramp-up. Compared to an ICEV in launch control mode, the Model 3 is nothing like as violent from a dead stop.
