its a moderately esoteric spreadsheet to a non accountant, designed to justify, or not, the total cost of ownership of a Tesla vs high end ICE vehicles over an 8 year period It does come out that the Tesla almost wins out, but only at a very slow increase of fuel costs. It is based on taxes and rates somewhere in northern California. It appears that it is probably tweakable for lower cost EV's vs similarly priced ICE vehicles. -------------------------------------------- On Mon, 8/18/14, Willie2 via EV <[email protected]> wrote: Subject: Re: [EVDL] EVLN: 100+ U.S. National 'Drive Electric Week' Events Planned 9/15-21 To: "Electric Vehicle Discussion List" <[email protected]> Date: Monday, August 18, 2014, 10:36 AM On 08/17/2014 09:04 AM, robert winfield via EV wrote: > here is a google docs link from an engineer who did a cost analysis of a honda oddsey vs a tesla and other high end large vehicles to decide on a tesla EV that is free for downloading. > "It's so expensive!"
