What You'll Learn:
• Which annual-miles, kWh-rate, and gallons-per-mile fields drive the energy lines
• How to adjust sticker kWh-per-mile by about fifteen percent for real-world conditions
• Where Level 2 install, insurance quotes, maintenance, and depreciation belong on the sheet
• Why purchase incentives should be subtracted only after eligibility is confirmed
• How to re-run the sheet every six months when electricity or gas prices move
Worksheet:
Columns for annual miles, residential cents per kWh, gas price per gallon, real MPG, EV kWh per mile, out-the-door price, confirmed rebates, Level 2 install net cost, insurance quotes, annual maintenance, and three-year depreciation. Keep miles and local rates fixed when you swap models.
