After a long stay in the hospital, I am back to keep you up dated on news about electric vehicles.
Although the petroleum industry has sharply dropped its prices, there is no guarantee that the prices will stay where they are. The new hybrids gas milage is not any better after the first 40 miles. If you don’t have a plug in hybrid there is no financial benefits.
The new way to figure the cost to operate your auto is not miles per gallon but to figure the cost per mile. For example: 1. The national average shows you $0.12 per mile for a gas, IC (internal combustion) car. 2. The plug in pure electric vehicle, (not a hybrid) with range of 100 miles gives you $ 0.03 to $0.06 per mile depending on the price per KW the electric company charges in your area. This means, in one month with a gas vehicle will cost you about $75.00 compared to $37.50 for a 100% electric. Not counting the maintenance and repair. The total comparison which is: Gas car: Per month, $ 100.00 plus $ 75.00 total $175.00. Plug in: Per month, zero plus $37.50 total 37.50.

Just for accuracy, the Rav4EV was made from 1996 until 2003 (one year more in each direction than what you have listed. I also recommend that you watch the video in high rez! Also see my latest videos of the Rav4EV and the EV1 in my youtube account. Search for “darelldd”

I happened to see the videos of the Rav4EV and EV1, both looked good. Hybrid and electric vehicles have their own efficiency and usefulness. The years ahead are going to see major transformations in electric vehicle industry, especially cars, scooters, and bikes.
