    I just totalled up my fueling costs for the first 10,000 miles and it came in at $0.0176/mile for gasoline and electricity.

    That's incredible. I don't keep a close watch but one month I got into the .02/mile range. Doing better than that for 10K miles including through our hot Texas summers? WOW! Congrats!

    I will have to give the majority of the credit to Austin Energy and their EV subscription, effectivly letting me purchase electricity for 1 cent per kWh.

    Dang that is cheap. I'm stuck at about $2.30 /100 miles.. because my electricity costs a bit more.

    My Lifetime consumption is below 1 liter of gasoline/100km. My electricity bill went up, from previous bills, for 16 EUR, but that increase includes heating the apartment with the heat pump. I've saved about 1000 EUR (about 1300$) in less than 6 months in fuel costs.

    I've seen their website mentioned somewhere else and looked a bit. Are they planning something like remote access to the car, like USA already has?

    I believe so. I think their goal is to replace all the OnStar services, and then some.
