Other - Cars & Transportation - March 2007

This is a question for people who own/owned electric vehicles. What make/model/size batteries did you have, and the total purchase cost, and how many miles did you get out of your batteries? If you divide your total purchase cost of the batteries by the miles, you'll get the Cost Per Mile for the battery pack.

David Butcher's Sparrow diary on the 'net states that he got about 7000 miles for his Optima battery pack.

In BC, Canada, Butcher's pack of 13 Optimas would cost C$4000, and Butcher's cost per mile would therefore be 56 cents per mile.

For comparison, one Ego-II electric scooter owner got 6570 miles with revived batteries, and the pack's replacement cost was C$190, for a Cost-Per-Mile of less than 3 cents.

I'm curious as to how much other electric car and scooter owners get, on a Cost-Per-Mile basis, out of their battery packs.

Thanks in advance for all answers.

Also, have you read the new book, "Lives Per Gallon"?

Quentin Willson has been on TV complaining that supermarkets get their petrol from suppliers who are not much good. He has been saying this long before the recent (UK) petrol contamination incident. How many of you will now get your petrol in places other than supermarkets?

I just got a ticket for running a red light. At least that's what the cop said, I definetly entered yellow, but he probally saw me in the intersection as it was red. I timed the light, it's 3 seconds from yellow to red.

It's a left turn, 50mph zone, big intersection, 3 lanes,3 seconds seems short. So do you have any links that will point me in the right direction or a formla for it?

Thanks in advance.

I was think about this. On the descovery Ch they have the cars of the future. But we have to wait! Why? I need one of those cars today. I would save so much money right now. My car is broken and it is going to cost me $1600 to get it fixed. I just cant do it cause the job i have ( dont have any more cause my cars broke) cost $2.99 per gal and thats not for premium. By the time they get around to letting me get one of these cars i will be way to old to learn the new tech.
