The authors of the WSJ piece define âslipstreamâ fiction as being âthe new weirdâ because it âborrowsâ from science fiction, fantasy or horror, to âsurpriseâ readers who arenât expecting such things in their allegedly normal fiction.
Multiply the kilowatt-hours used per day times the electricity rate charged by the power company. If you use 10 kilowatt-hours daily and the highest-tier rate you pay is 20 cents, the air conditioner costs $2.00 per day, or about $60 per month.
If electricity costs $0.11 per kWh and the vehicle consumes 34 kWh to travel 100 miles, the cost per mile is about $0.04. If electricity costs $0.11 per kilowatt-hour, charging an all-electric vehicle with a 70-mile range (assuming a fully depleted 24 kWh battery) will cost about $2.64 to reach a full charge.This cost is about the same as operating an average central air conditioner for about 6 hours.eneral Motors estimates the annual energy use of the Chevy Volt will be 2,520 kilowatt-hours, which is less than that required for a typical water heater or central air conditioning. To compare the fueling costs of individual models of conventional and plug-in vehicles, see the Vehicle Cost Calculator.
