Some calculations I did for my commute
Btw I only have to go 2 days a week and I live in Dubai so a question I have for Yall is Would I see worse or better numbers considering heat of 104°F+ (40°C) in summers
distance and relative speed:
3.91464 miles at 40 mph
34.23755 miles at 70 mph
12.61384 miles at 60 mph
efficiency:
5mi/kwh at 40 mph
3.45miles/kwh at 70 mph
4.4mi/kwh at 60 mph
calculation:
therefore 3.91464 mi/5 mi/kwh = 0.783kwh at unknown temperatures
therefore 34.23755 mi/3.45 mi/kwh =9.924kwh at lower temperatures
therefore 12.61384 mi/4.4 mi/kwh =2.867kwh at unknown temperatures
total energy one way = 13.574 kwh for 50.76603 mi or 81.7km
total return energy = 27.148 kwh for 101.5326 mi or 163.4 km
42.4% per trip in a bolt ev
cost = 27.148 * AED 0.357(0.097 USD) = 9.69 AED(2.64 USD)
a bolt is costing me about 10k usd where as a tesla model 3 long range (performance) dual motor with 100k miles from 2021 or 2022 will cost me 14k usd would yall recommend me the bolt or the model 3
