Raptor vs Lightning: the numbers

[Shawnson]

And I’ve never gotten ethanol filled electrons that separated and clogged up my battery after only a month.

in addition, per session charging time has side benefits; I regularly get free electricity. I don’t remember ever getting free gas.

I drive 25K a year and at .064 per kWh about my savings v. driving Flex Limited or 4.6 Adrenalin. I don’t miss gas smell or standing in the rain getting drilled sideways by wind & wet. Or freezing winter days. Or just standing as a mark at a shop & rob.

Thinking back to the comment about filling up at Costco … now I remember sitting with 40 other cars waiting my turn. If you have driven a Diesel having to get out your special glove to not stink up your hands.

in 16 months I have added 5 minutes of electrons 4 times, the rest in my garage! So my ‘pump time’ less than 30 minutes. Oh, there is the 10 seconds to grab the cord as I walk into the house

In almost six weeks that I've owned my Lightning I've driven a little over 1,700 miles.
According to the GOM I'm averaging 2.4 miles per Kwh. Since I charge between 10pm to 6am, FPL claims I'm being charged $0.04 per Kwh. So, 1,700/2.4 = 709 Kwh X $0.04 = $28.36 !!
The ICE truck I replaced with the Lightning would get at best 16 mpg. 1,700/16 = 106.25 gallons @ $2.85 per gallon = $302.83 minus $28.36 = $274.47 in savings. That doesn't include the time I'd spend filling my gas tank six times.
