Monthly Fuel Costs
Gas Models:
- Average Fuel Consumption: 8.0 L/100 km
- Average Monthly Driving Distance: 1,500 km
- Monthly Fuel Cost:
- Fuel Price: CAD 1.60 per liter
- Calculation: 8.0 L/100 km * 1,500 km = 120 L
- Total Cost: 120 L * CAD 1.60/L = CAD 192
PHEV Model:
- Electricity Consumption: 18 kWh/100 km
- Electricity Cost: CAD 0.13 per kWh
- Monthly Electric Range: 600 km
- Monthly Gas Range: 900 km
- Calculation:
- Electricity Cost: (18 kWh/100 km * 600 km) * CAD 0.13/kWh = CAD 14.04
- Fuel Cost: (8.0 L/100 km * 900 km) * CAD 1.60/L = CAD 115.20
- Total Monthly Cost: CAD 14.04 + CAD 115.20 = CAD 129.24
EV Model:
- Electricity Consumption: 20 kWh/100 km
- Electricity Cost: CAD 0.13 per kWh
- Monthly Driving Distance: 1,500 km
- Calculation: 20 kWh/100 km * 1,500 km = 300 kWh
