I pulled my old nct's to get my year average, you could probably back track that to how much charge it's eating up. Some nerd out there will have the numbers.

The amount i'm spending on diesel a year now would buy me about 10,000kwh in charging..

ah yeah it's all tracked in the app - I just haven't bothered because to be honest the app interface is a bit shit

but sher let's have a look now

2019 was the last full year of 5 day a week proper commuting but it looks like the stats have disappeared for every year before 2020....

2020
5474.7km driven
176.6 hours of driving
873.1kWh electricity used
15.9 kWh/100km energy economy
941kg CO2 saved


2021
8,177.9km
261.7 hours
1289.5 kWh
15.9kWh/100km
1405kg CO2 saved

2022 So Far (back commuting 2 days a week tops)
3362.9km
107.7 hours
570.2 kWh
16.9 kWh/100km
578kg CO2 saved


March 2022
1518.7km
43.3 hours driving
244kWh
16.10kWh/100km
261kg of CO2 saved

So far this month:
316.8km
10.6 hours
51.7kWh
16.4kWh/100km,
54kg of CO2 saved

244kWh is about €40-50, I think? Would have cost about three times that in petrol or diesel; I'd heard the margin was much greater?

 

[ann post]

Saved compared to what? Not a clue.

back of an envelope on those numbers, it'd be 90 litres of diesel for me do those km's - that'd be 235kg of C02 in my barge.

EDIT

in cash money 173eu for me.

is that the 244kwh charging the car

or

244kwh consumed by the car?

 

[magicbastarder]

I think my car does 120g to the km, so about 180kg if I was to believe that

dunno but i've done about 75,000km since we bought it 5 years ago so you do the math (seriously, do - I don't want to)

Consumed. I'm not sure what the (in)efficiency is like on charging and i've no way of measuring it with the charger we have now.

 

[ann post]

your car is using 0.161kw for a km.

the nerds are saying charging is 85% loss

So from the wall plug it is using 0.189kw for a km.

A km is costing you about about 5 cent electric at todays rate (26 cent)

A km costs me about 10c diesel at todays rate (2 euro)

----------

actual emmisions though

in ireland 1kwh is 468g Co2 -
your car is doing 88g of Co2 per km
mine is rated at 164g of Co2 per km*

Curious about this because when i wipe out this car i'll be looking to run an electric.

just tried to go back to january 2020, the last "proper" full working month for me, and it turns out those 2020 stats only start from May. Fucksake Nissan...

A reasonable dinner is 400g ...

Haha dude you sound like a real foodie

If you don't get the panels on the roof, where do they go?

I live in a semi-d in a housing estate so its roof or nothing. People who have a bit of land can potentially set them up standalone on the ground somewhere.

I was in Germany the other week and its pretty noticeable how far ahead of us they are in terms of embracing solar power, yet Putin has them by the balls in terms of oil and gas.

 

[magicbastarder]

the germans were also being encouraged to get into microgeneration using natural gas 10 years ago too, going by conversations i had with a couple back then.

 

[dudley]

It seems like loads but is your heat off the electric?

Don't forget the internet is run out of Pete's house

Ok - It’s complicated.

Alright, i watched it, it didn't answer my question goddammit.

I thought you answered your own question!

 

[ann post]

Haha, yeah I know I know. But I've been looking into it, and it just seems to be a universal constant.

 

[rettucs]

I had the house survey done by the solar lads. They reckon the amount of panels I could manage would generate ~1700kw/h per annum. My annual usage is ~3200kw/h, so thats a reasonable return.

However, having the panels generating that much and actually using that much are 2 different things. So I'm gonna consider the battery option. That way I have a better chance of using every drop of power the panels generate. The return on investment will be slow, but theres more than just the financials for me. The principal of having over half of your power using coming from solar is pretty compelling imo.
