Estimate of cost savings from gas to electric car.

This is my first blog and I have worked out what the approximate cost of parts of a internal combustion in an automobile compared to a electric plug in vehicle.

Automobile: 1. radiator $ 300- 2. Hoses $ 50- 3. gas tank $150- 4. gas line filter $ 25 -5. fuel pump $100- 6. emission system $60-7.air filters $20-8. pcv $60-9. exhaust system $150-10. I.C. engine $1,500-11. carburetor $ 90- 12. starter $100- 13. guages $60- 14. caps radiator/Gas $ 20- 15. transmission $ 500- clutch $ 75

TOTAL: $ 3,260.00

1. remove I.C. engine $ 700- 2. gages $ 100-3. electric motor $ 1,200- 4. batteries $ 2 400- 5. conversion cost $ 1,600- 6. miscllaneous $ 500-7. charger $ 450

COST TO OPERATE GAS CAR 6 YEARS:$ 12,210.00 based on $ 4.00 per gallon and not counting rising gas price.

COST TO OPERATE AN ELECTRIC PLUG IN 6 YEARS: $ 2,016.00

    That’s very interesting data. It looks like a net gain of about $3K-$4K over the six years.But getting off of gas? Well, as the Mastercard ad says, that’s priceless!

    Haha, that is so right. Getting off of gas is the most priceless thing of all. The environment needs our help to stay alive and thriving!
