Plug-in Hybrid kWh/day [RE-wrenches]

[Ray Walters]

<x-flowed>


My Electric truck pulls about 12 Kw at 45 mph, which works out to  
about 3.75 miles per Kwh. Throw in a charging efficiency of 75% and  
you have 2.8 miles per Kwh.  Figure 3.5 Kwh for that 10 mile trip. Of  
course his #s could be higher or lower, depending on the vehicle,  
speed, hills, starts & stops, charger type, etc. (insert fast talking  
sales disclaimer now....)
