Battery warming or phantom drain? Phantom drain is because Li-ion batteries discharge spontaneously inside the cells. Having a colder battery is actually better for reducing this behaviour - aka you could save money by parking your EV outside instead of in the garage in winter. (theoretically)

Offset by maintenance savings likely. Can you provide numbers for maintenance?

For the sake of completeness, it is necessary to add maintenance costs in to the comparison. The problem is that mainenance costs for EVs are not known, because you need to get actual data for 10 year old EVs before you can compare them. The expectation is that oil and servicing will costs will...

You'd want to calculate the cost per km/mile, ideally. 190 miles on (75*0.9 = 67.5 kwh). That gives 67.5/190 -> 355 wh per mile in your case. Your full bill is rather detailed, but it would be best to separate fixed and variable costs -> 268.56 -10.84 - 4,63 = 253.09 variable costs -> 253.09 /...

Question: what is the average wait-while-charging time for a Tesla vehicle? Meaning that, if you plug the vehicle in at home, then you do not wait for the vehicle to charge, hence the wait time is perhaps 10 seconds to put the plug in the car. If you happen to use supercharging, then the wait...
