When I leave full time rv'ing I'll be looking for an electric car. My future condo has a 15 amp circuit. I'll be trying to walk more and there is a movie theatre (2nd run) and two good grocery stores within two blocks.
I believe that 350 watt-hours per mile is a reasonable figure, so in a 12 hour charging day I should "bank" about 56 miles. That number is well above what I drive in my ICE and works out to over 20,000 miles per year.
I used 110 volts @ 15 amps to give a daily consumption of 19.8 KWH. That may cost me $2.37 per day at current rates.
Using 4 hours per day for solar charging and array of 5000 watts of solar panels would provide that energy for a one time cost.
