The initial cost of EVs , at least at this time, is very expensive. Think about all the resources that go into making a new car—from mining metals to manufacturing parts and shipping them around the world. Potentials like aerodynamic body kits, wheel covers, side mirror design, and even underbody panels can all have an impact.

Conversion kits also will be available to switch medium-duty gasoline vehicles to run on propane. PERC estimates that operating costs of a propane fleet typically range from 5 to 30% less than a gasoline-powered fleet, when capital costs (vehicle and infrastructure) and operation and maintenance costs are all taken into consideration.

Charge management software optimizes charging based on the available power, the schedules of the vehicles and the cost of electricity—from the rudimentary systems built into chargers to highly sophisticated systems that integrate with micro-grids or depot management. Charged : What about solar and storage? It can monitor that load.

We’ve now got some Mo going with: California solar loan financing that will eliminate the big up front cost of solar. The county has tremendous resources it can bring to the table and if it has the will and commitment to make L.A. You read his take on the new PICC conversion kits and a whole lot more.

It’s just a cost of doing business. But there are also a lot of these biopolymer-based substrates that are-- basically, they look and feel like plastics, but they are from bio-based resources, so they are kind of renewable. I often have to send away for a special kit. What happens if you don’t do it? Hakola: Yes, yes.

Aren’t we just exchanging one nonrenewable resource for another? At current transportation battery prices, that is well beyond the cost of spinning reserve. So, the used batteries are almost arbitrarily cheap since an arbitrarily large fraction of their cost of production can be loaded on their use in transportation.

And, if you consider lifetime costs of owning an EV versus owning a traditional internal combustion car, even if the initial purchase price of the EV is much more than your combustion car and you have to replace a battery for $4,000 after 7-10 years, the EV still costs less to operate.
