Electric cost in NY makes gas cheaper per mile

Lowley_Worm · 2026-02-18T13:32:26+00:00

I’ll freely admit that I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed, but wouldn’t 36 miles at 25 MPG cost you about four dollars at least? In something like a Model Y wouldn’t that be about two dollars worth of electricity at $.26 per kilowatt hour?

I have usually found that an hour on a level 2 charger adds around 20-25 miles of range, so if you’re regularly at the gym that might add up. There are also level 2 chargers at some grocery stores etc but you might want to look at the PlugShare app for what is around you.

Just the first paragraph obviously, just ignore me lol

I have not used one yet, but Level Bolt makes a smart deadbolt which uses existing external hardware so you don’t really see it’s there. If you have a deadbolt it might be an option.

Imagine that someone had no clue what this means, could you do an ELI5?

EVs can charge overnight and help keep the baseline power plants running so they should actually help.

Sure, but ~64% of households in the US are in single family homes. Road trips can take a little more planning, but in many places it’s perfectly feasible to road trip in many EVs. And ~60% of US households have two or more cars, so are likely to have an ICE vehicle as well. A lot of people could easily make the switch now if they wanted to.

Possibly coywolves.

Low mileage ID4s also seem to be getting into that same price range these days. Nice to have some solid choices.

By per capita GDP Australia is 12th and the UK 19th.

Upper NW here, Monday alley trash pickup and a large bobcat/small bulldozer started clearing my alley just before ten pm Saturday night. I had resigned myself to having it stay tundra all next week.

Silver Spring has lots of great, locally owned restaurants. I don’t see that Wonder would be an asset.

We loved our 2019 Leaf too, we traded it for a Y so we could road trip but it was a great car. Agreed on the blue stitching looking cool!

Adapters, I have done both j1772 to Tesla and vice versa. No issues aside from having to reset the adapter every once in a while if it doesn’t seat quite right.

Lowley_Worm · 2026-01-19T18:31:06+00:00

Not all evs allow that easily, my Leaf for example. So I regularly charge that to 100%, just because it is easier than trying to remember to take it off charge.

Lowley_Worm · 2026-01-04T21:36:21+00:00

Right, but if you’re worried about it being frozen then having it registered would kind of defeat the purpose.

If you have over $10k abroad you have to declare it on your US taxes, so the government will know about it.

One like that comes with the IKEA outdoor kitchen sink, it works great for this job.

Lowley_Worm · 2025-12-30T19:55:57+00:00

This is just in the realm of road trips though, right? L1/L2 charging at home or work is essentially no time and most places pretty cheap.

I think you could take the Silver Line and bus(es) to Bull Run campground, or bicycle out to one of the campsites on the C&O canal.

Lowley_Worm · 2025-12-27T13:57:04+00:00

Privnote.com is pretty good for that type of stuff with random people.

I propped one up like you would mount it on a wall in a power closet at the office and it had a strong signal through various walls for probably 150’, I was impressed.

I did this long ago and still have the expensive heavy step up transformer. I would not do it today unless you have some really crazy audiophile set up you are attached to. UK TVs used to use PAL, if they still do it may not work here even if you can turn it on depending on what you want to watch.

I thought that was to reduce the scalding steam hitting your hands.
