[0:02] gas cars run on internal combustion
[0:04] engines which rely on gasoline to power
[0:06] the
[0:07] vehicle gasoline is typically measured
[0:10] in miles per gallon and the average gas
[0:13] car gets between 20 to 30 m per gallon
[0:16] depending on the make and model of
[0:18] course the fuel efficiency varies
[0:21] depending on whether you're driving a
[0:22] compact car a sedan or an
[0:25] SUV but one thing's for sure gasoline
[0:29] prices can fluctuate significantly
[0:31] leading to unpredictable fuel
[0:35] costs electric cars on the other hand
[0:38] don't burn gasoline they run on
[0:41] electricity stored in their batteries
[0:43] and their fuel consumption is measured
[0:44] in kilowatt hours per 100 m most
[0:48] electric cars consume between 20 to 30
[0:51] kwatt hours per 100 m this means on
[0:55] average you'll need about 24 kwatt hours
[0:58] to travel 100 miles in a typical EV but
[1:02] this can vary depending on the model and
[1:04] driving
[1:07] conditions now let's talk about costs
[1:11] gasoline prices fluctuate but the
[1:13] national average in the US is about
[1:16] $3.50 per gallon so if you're getting 25
[1:20] M per gallon you're paying roughly 14
[1:23] cents per mild driven meanwhile
[1:26] electricity costs are far more stable on
[1:29] average electricity costs about 13 cents
[1:31] per kwatt hour so for that same 100 mile
[1:35] trip an electric car would cost you
[1:37] around $3 to5 in electricity
[1:40] significantly cheaper than filling up
[1:42] with
[1:44] gas but there's more to consider than
[1:46] just the per mile cost gas cars
[1:49] typically have a longer range on a full
[1:51] tank usually around 300 to 400 m on
[1:54] average While most electric cars have a
[1:57] range of 200 to 350 MI per full
[2:02] charge however charging an electric car
[2:05] takes more time than filling up a gas
[2:07] car while it only takes minutes to
[2:09] refuel a gas car charging an electric
[2:12] car can take anywhere from 30 minutes to
[2:15] a few hours depending on the charger
[2:19] type and it's not just about the dollars
[2:21] and cents electric cars are much cleaner
[2:24] for the environment they produce zero
[2:27] emissions during operation while gas
[2:29] cars are a significant source of air
[2:31] pollution contributing to global warming
[2:33] and respiratory
[2:35] diseases while the production of
[2:37] electricity for Ev still has an
[2:38] environmental impact it's much smaller
[2:41] compared to burning gasoline especially
[2:43] if the electricity comes from renewable
[2:45] sources like solar or
[2:48] wind in the long run electric cars are a
[2:51] much more cost-effective option even
[2:54] though they may have a higher upfront
[2:56] price the savings on fuel and
[2:58] maintenance quickly add up making them
[3:00] more affordable over time so whether
[3:03] it's the cost of fuel environmental
[3:05] benefits or just the savings over the
[3:08] years electric cars win when it comes to
[3:10] fuel consumption the future of driving
[3:14] is
[3:16] electric thanks for watching don't
