Photo Credit: Getty imagesA two-EV household in Canada created a snapshot in time of their mileage, cost, and savings.By tracking one ordinary week at home, Tyson and Alicia of T&A: Live for Today (@tandalivefortoday) drove home just how much they save with their electric vehicles.Here's what to knowIn a YouTube video, the couple walked through the numbers of a week of driving."We have two EVs at home now — a Silverado EV & Cadillac Optiq," they said in the caption. "We've covered EV towing a lot but often get asked what the daily driving of the Silverado EV is like. So we clocked everything you need to know on a regular week of use!"For the test, they recorded how far they went, their speeds, how much charging they required, and how that week's charging costs compared with fuel prices.Tyson shared that the truck had a light week with mostly work-commute use to town and back. It took about 120 miles of driving that cost under $9. The car racked up many more miles with some trips to the city. It accrued over 400 miles and cost $25 to charge. With those data points, Tyson calculated that to match the operating costs with fuel, the car would need to get over 85 miles a gallon and the truck 75 miles per gallon."Never going to happen," he noted with a chuckle.More backgroundDiscussion around electric trucks often centers on their heavy-duty tasks, especially towing and long highway drives. Those are important tests, but they do not reflect how most owners use their vehicles in a typical week.The couple's video shows their experience with daily driving and home charging in a multi-EV garage.It also lays out a comparison of transportation energy costs. Gas prices can fluctuate widely, while home electricity tends to be more predictable, especially for drivers who can charge during low-cost hours.What's being doneAdding solar extended that advantage, as Tyson shared in the video. If a home produces some of the electricity used to charge a vehicle, every mile driven is less exposed to price volatility.In the video, Tyson and Alicia said the charging costs and breakeven costs were all but meaningless to them since they generate enough solar energy to power their vehicles."Living day to day with an EV is the simplest and most cost-effective means of daily travel," a commenter wrote.Where can I learn more?The same practical questions consistently pop up around EV charging, home energy, and day-to-day costs. • A homeowner used 900W portable panels to cover EV charging without a costly upgrade.• Industry numbers show owning an EV can shift costs in unexpected ways.• A Bay Area driver found his EV cost 7.9 times less per mile than a gas vehicle.• A Nissan Leaf owner described the unexpected reality of owning an EV.Get TCD's free newsletters for easy tips, smart advice, and a chance to earn $5,000 toward home upgrades.
