This gets convoluted REAL quick, so I’ve included a write up with the numbers. Your results would depend on a lot of variables affecting your own situation.

A few days ago, a buddy of mine asked me how I liked my Chevy Volt and if it made financial sense. Woo! That’s a loaded question with a complicated answer that’s somewhat convoluted depending on your personal situation. I’ve had to answer this question so many times that I decided to break down my financial experience with my 2013 Ford C-Max Energi over 3 years because I had the best data from that. I’ll include links to references as well as how you can capitalize on this the way I did. Feel free to check my math as I did this fairly quick, and took a lot of averages and worst case scenarios on the EV side of things. The point of this video is to help you think more holistically about your energy usage and how you can potentially turn an depreciating liability (namely your car) and home energy expenses into an asset.

2013 – 4 dollars a gallon for 93 octane fuel, $450 a month with Mustang and Mazdaspeed 3, roughly 112 gallons a month, or 28 gallons a week, filling up every 3 days or so.

Year one fuel savings 5400. Assuming 250 a year in fuel costs (14 gallon tank at $50 a fill up for 5.. if that fill ups a year), first year savings was 5150.
Tax incentives and trade in on Mazdaspeed 3 reduced payments to 350 a month, saving 100 dollars a month on car payments as well, for an addition 1200. Total savings year 1 was 6350.

High prices fell to 2.50 by 2015. 280 a month saved.

2 years averaging 2.50 a gallon in CT turns into 6720 in savings. Minus 500 for typical gas useage brings savings with lower gas prices to about 6250.
2 more years saving 100 a month in payments = 2400
Total saved on gas and payments vs performance cars, $15,000. Car was turned in on stock tires, with free oil changes in 38000 miles of usage in 36 months. Total cost of lease term 12,600.

Now to break down electricity costs…

https://ycharts.com/indicators/connecticut_electric_utility_retail_price

38,000/36 = 1,055 miles a month. Assuming 50 charges at 21 miles
2013 – .16 5.5 kwh = .88 cents/Charge $44.23 a month in electric usage $265.38 half first year.
2014 – .18 5.5 kwh = .99 cents/Charge $49.23 a month in electric usage $590.76 Second year
2015 – .20 5.5 kwh = 1.10 cents/Charge $55 a month in electric usage $660 Third year
2016 – .18 5.5 kwh = .99/Charge $49.23 a month in electric usage $295.38 second half third year.

$1,810 to drive 38000 miles all electric with worst case scenario range per kwh. Roughly 10x cheaper than comparable gas expenses.
At today’s rates of .17 cents per kwh (combined delivery and generation in CT), 5.5 kwh would be 93 cents. A car getting 21 miles per gallon equivalent (which is the minimum I’d get out of 5.5 kwh) would pay 2.28 or so a gallon.

So that brings us to what about if we didn’t have to pay for fuel? If you purchase panels, you’ll receive tax credits and other incentives for purchasing panels. Mine for instance cost me $26,000 for a 6.6 kw system. Once all was said and done however, the actual cost to me was $12,000. My average electric bill before the car was $150. $1800 a year saved in normal electric costs by going solar. It’d have taken almost 7 years to get a ROI. By adding in fuel savings, ROI on investment could be as little as 2-3 years depending on the cost of gas and electricity. Taking the lease costs of 12,600 on the car plus the 12,000 for the solar panels, which comes to 24,600 in total cash outlay after tax credits and incentives. $25,800 ($15000 in gasoline and lower payments – 5400 in free electricity for driving – 5400 more in free electricity used by my family) – 24,600 (Car and Solar panel investment) = $1200 positive cash flow over 3 years. That means for 3 years, I was basically being paid $33.33 a month to buy solar panels and lease a PHEV.

This Ryobi charger i have had plans for! Now I’ve had a chance to teat it out I have found that I can use it on mains AC, 12v DC and connect it directly to a solar panel!
