Re: How many miles - Correction

Dohh, again. Not to belabor anything, and not that I'm personally
interested in an EV's MPD, but...

Your math was okay. It's 3.2 km (kilometers not miles) per kWh. Or 1.92
miles per $.12, or about 16 miles per $1.00 at the $.12 rate.

That's also 520 watts per mile, which seems to be below average for a
light-weight conversion and probably isn't representitive of what is
possible. In the range of what's possible this is probably the low end and
not the average.
