The great majority of my gas stops are stop, fill up, leave. I expect those would be eliminated by having a EV I just charged at home though.

For the cost of running a washing machine.

Pretty sure that beats the $40 to fill my tank by quite a lot.

I’ve got a Rav4. Costs about $40 to fill up. Just got a Subaru Solterra (same vehicle as the Toyota bz4x). Costs about $7 to charge, given my electric rates. Similar range (Solterra is a bit shorter). And that’s neglecting my solar.

The calculation is too difficult?
Replying to @betanumerus@lemmy.ca
I don’t know how much it actually costs to run my washing machine so I cannot make a definitive statement.
Replying to @lightnsfw@reddthat.com
Like EV charging, washers and dryers run on 240V. My approximate energy use for a laundry load (washing + drying): 3 kWh. My own EV driving uses about 5 kWh per day. That’s how I got the number. Same order of magnitude is my point. At least in my case. Changing the laundry size and frequency, and driving habits, could actually make those numbers (3 and 5 kWh) close to equal.

I wasn’t trying to argue with you.

Me neither, just explaining what I said for everyone to understand, hoping it helps someone.
