One Year Anniversary!

Make more room!

 

Congrats buddy!

I wish I had a commute like that. Between fuel and depreciation I lose so much.

 

Here's my stats for the year, starting 3/29/12 through 3/26/13:
Odometer: 12892.1
EV miles: 5285
HV: 7605
Gallons Used: 142.35 (calculated, based on Fuelly stats)
KWH: 1415

Average fuel price for the year in NorCal was $4.06 (based on when I fueled up anyway). I have solar panels, so I'm in the lowest price tier in CA, which is $.13/kwh. Unless my Google spreadsheet wizardry is wrong, this gives me stats of $.077 per mile HV and $.035 per mile for EV, or a total fuel cost of $770.33, $585.35 in gas and $184.98 in electricity. Further comparing against my old car, a 2008 Civic LX, I would have spent $1483.18 during the same period factoring in same average annual fuel prices for the time period & same total miles. This provides me a saving of $712.85 annually in fuel from the PiP. I paid a net upgrade price of $29,525 to the PIPA, so based on this, it will take me 41 years to see the upgrade cost make sense. LOL.

If HOV stickers are extended through 2018, this means I pay $374.79/mo (Difference in price 29,525-$4036 fuel savings/68 total months of HOV) through 2018 for the privilege of driving in the HOV lane. Ouch! I save ~ 1 hour a day due to HOV, I work 20 days per month, so apparently I value my driving time at $37.40/hr!

Hopefully the math is right, and someone finds these numbers interestingl/informative.

 

My car's anniversary was on April 5th, are there any plans to make a party to congregate all 1 year old ones?

 

Here's my first-year stats:

18,477 - Total Miles
6,328 - EV Miles (displayed amount)
12,123 - HV Miles (displayed amount)
365 - Days (12 months)
574 - Recharges (based on capacity replenished)
239.9 - Total Gallons (measured at the pump)
1,721 - Total kWh (including charging losses)
1,505 - Total kWh (displayed amount)
77.0 - Lifetime MPG
50.5 - MPG (HV)
27 - kWh/100 miles

Year 2 is proceeding well. It's finally spring, so both EV & MPG are climbing.

It sure is nice hearing reports from others now.

 

Here is the efficiency breakdown of the two fuels and the combined composite.

Electricity: 4,838 miles / 32.5 gallon equivalent (15% charging loss added) = 149 MPGe

Gasoline: 3,596 miles / 54 gallons = 66.6 MPG

Combined Composite: 8,435 miles / 86.5 gallon equivalent = 97.5 MPGe

 

Electricity: 5,497 miles / 42.5 gallon equivalent (15% charging loss added) = 129 MPGe

Gasoline: 2,965 miles / 52 gallons = 57 MPG

Combined Composite: 8,464 miles / 94.5 gallon equivalent = 90 MPGe

 

Per EPA, you should get 95 MPGe for the first 11 miles and then 50 MPG onward and combined composite of 58 MPGe. You are beating EPA estimate by a long shot, all year long.

Your normal commute is like 13 miles right? Including the very long weekend/vacation trips on gas, your annual figure is very good.

 

Electricity: 5,285 miles / 48.3 gallon equivalent (15% charging loss added) = 109 MPGe

Gasoline: 7,605 miles / 142.35 gallons = 53.4 MPG

Combined Composite: 12,892 miles / 190.65 gallon equivalent = 67.6 MPGe

Majority of your miles are on gas so the combined composite leans toward it.

 

Electricity: 6,328 miles / 51.1 gallon equivalent = 124 MPGe

Gasoline: 12,123 miles / 239.9 gallons = 50.5 MPG

Combined Composite: 18,477 miles / 291 gallon equivalent = 63.5 MPGe

EPA predicted (based on statistics) that on average, PiP will be 28% on EV and 72% HV at 58 MPGe combined composite.

You have 34% EV and 66% HV resulting in 63.5 MPGe combined composite. Mighty impressive with Minnesota winter.

 

I only have 6 months so, I guess I'll be posting my stats in 6 months.

 

No room! No room! No room!
