Compare the cost to drive a gasoline-powered vehicle and an electric vehicle. Both vehicles have the same body, so drag co-efficient Ca = 0.3 and vehicle front cross-sectional area Ay = 2.0 m2 are same. Both the vehicles are driven for one hour at a speed of 70 mph. Assume that the gasoline vehicle powertrain has an overall efficiency of 20% and the electric vehicle powertrain has an efficiency of 60%. If the price of electricity is £0.10/kWh, what gasoline price (£/gallon) would result in the same energy cost as fuelling with electricity? (Take Pair = 1.2 kg/m3, Pgasoline = 750 kg/m3, LHV gasoline = 44,510 kJ/kg) = -
