Outline Assumptions Cost Feasibility of Using Electric Cars vs Gas Powered Car Environmental Impact
Assumptions Third Party Insurance for both types of cars are the same(=$2,500/yr) Licence Fees are equal(=$7,254/yr) Parking Fees are the same(=$36,000/yr) The cars will be used for 10 years MARR = 7% The charger is provided
Cost of Purchase Gasoline Car (HKD)~$280,000 Electric Car (HKD)~$600,000
Electric Car’s Battery Economics Today NiMH Battery Cost (HKD/kWh)$11,700 Pack Capacity (kWh)30 Pack Cost (HKD)$351,000 Battery Life (yr)12 EV Range (km)214 Cost of travel 20,000km/year $3,000
Typical Gasoline Car’s Cost Information Gasoline Price(HKD/Litre)$10.4 Capacity(Litre)~40 Range(km/Litre)~7.5 Cost of travel 20,000km/year $27,733
Annual Maintenance Cost Gasoline Car(HKD)~$15,000 Electric Car(HKD)~$10,000
Salvage Value after 10 years Gasoline Car$10,000 Electric Car$30,000
Cash Flow Diagram of Gasoline Cars $287,254 $81,233 Annual Cost = Fuel Cost +Maintenance Cost + Parking + Insurance = $27,733 + $15,000 + $36,000 +$2,500 Initial Cost = License + Purchase = $7,254 + $280,000 Salvage Value = $10,000 MARR=7%
Cash Flow Diagram of Electric Car $607,254 $49,000 Initial Cost = License + Purchase = $7,254 + $600,000 Salvage Value = $30,000 MARR=7% Annual Cost = Fuel Cost +Maintenance Cost + Parking + Insurance = $3,000 + $10,000 + $36,000 + $2,500
Total Cost: EV vs Gasoline Cars Gasoline CarsElectric Cars Annual Worth~$121,408~$135,788 Present Worth~$852,717~$953,718
Environmental Impact Air Pollution Near zero exhaust emission by EV 657 pounds of particle emitted from gasoline powered car Noise Pollution Near zero noise pollution by EV Fuel Efficiency EV is more efficient than gasoline powered car Recycling of Electric Battery 98% of the electric pack can be recycled
Conclusion EV are more expensive than GV but it is expected that the price of EV will go down EV are environmental friendly Being considerate using EV are the future trend
THE END
