How much KWh to charge up a Type-1e, Type-1h

[DavidHoff]

All,
Has anyone done the math to see how much current it would take to fully charge up each model? If it was on the website, I could not find it, but here is my "math in public" calculation.

If $.08 is the going rate for 1KW hour, and it cost $3.00 to charge the Aptera up to go 120 miles, then one would need...37 KW hours? (3.00/.08)?

It might not be that simple

So accordingly, if you only get 50 miles before the original electric charge is gone on the type-1h, then the math equation would be ...((50/120)*$3.00 )/.08... which equals 15.6 KW hours to fully recharge the battery pack?

Does this make sense? Has anyone else tried to come up with similar calculations? I am thinking if one were to solarize their home, how much additional solar power would you need to generate to power your home plus charge up your car.

Thoughts anyone?

Enjoy,
Dave

The best info available is that the Typ-1e has a 10kWh battery pack. Which would be ~80Wh/mi at 55mph, ~140Wh/mi at 85mph.

From my understanding, solar electric, though green, still doesn't make economic sense: The payback period is longer than the life of the solar cells.

It depends on where you are and what the sort of tax incentives there are. But in most places, no, it doesn't. That should be changing in a couple years, however, as a huge influx of low-cost silicon becomes available and CIGS manufacturers ramp up production.
