• Even with 100% coal-fueled electricity, CO2 will be reduced by 40%
Data sources – DOE National Renewable Energy Lab, California Energy Commission, International Atomic Energy Agency
Electric vehicles will substantially reduce CO2 footprint

16. Financial Value
Pricing
• No market pricing yet, since beginning stage of industry
• Gas comparable price - $3 per hour, since provides 25
miles of range
• Example Potential Price - $2 per hour, since provides both fuel savings and an
income stream
Electricity Cost
• Energy usage is approximately 6.6kWh per hour or $0.80 per hour at
$0.12/kWh rates
Income
• Significant potential for $200 per month income to offset cost of equipment
