EV Advisor – Xcel Energy

Our Minnesota-based hometown utility Xcel Energy has some cool total cost of ownership and daily driving calculators to help visualize how financially and environmentally green switching to an Electric Vehicle is now. Remember you’ll never have to think of an oil change, timing belt, or spark plugs repair again. With many of the auto manufacturers committing to 50% of their lineup being fully electric by 2023, the function and simplicity of electric fuel and motors for transpiration is a well powered force.

Interesting to know after some further reading that the gas cars we drive are roughly 40% efficient while new electric vehicles are around 95% efficient. This scared me to realize only ~1/3rd of the gallons of gas I’m burning are actually being used to move the vehicle, while the rest are wasted in emissions or unused heat!
