For example, a common challenge is the carbon intensity of electricity. Electricity is dirty and it emits carbon in its creation – how much carbon it emits is known as carbon intensity. Theglobalaverage for carbon intensity produced in 2020 was 519g/kWh, but each...
How much does it cost to charge an electric car in the UK? How long does it take to charge an electric car? Find out in this easy-to-follow Uswitch guide.
As mentioned above, the exact emissions avoided with solar power will depend on what electricity source is replaced. Generally, these emissions are measured in metric tons of CO2 equivalent per kilowatt-hour (tCO-eq / kWh). However, in the case of NYC we have a very useful reference inLocal...
It’s not just a matter of how much electricity you use for the whole grow, it’s also a matter of how much you pay per month and if you’re saving that compared to buying cannabis. As I mentioned, I live in an expensive city in California and in this grow room I have a 600W...
Every utility in the United States has its own unique energy rate structure (price per kWh of electricity). The price of your electricity determines how much it will cost you to drive an electric vehicle. This makes it critical for utilities to be involved in their customers’ decision to pu...
Because consumer electronics draw so little power, I will also be using watt-hour (Wh), where 1,000 Wh equals 1 kWh. Pricing assumption According to figures published by theUS Energy Information Administrationfor January 2016, the average cost per kWh in the US was $0.12. This is the figu...
Next, we need to multiply the amount of energy by the carbon intensity, which is a measure of the grams of CO2eq emitted per kWh. Azure has been carbon neutral since 2012, meaning the emissions are offset, which is great for our customers, but not a very fun example when calculating. ...
Right, last bit of the puzzle: if you’re getting 4.4mi/kWh and you’ve paid £0.34 for that energy, your running cost per mile is… less than eight pence. £0.077, to be exact. How much cheaper is electric than petrol or diesel? Okay, now let’s work out how that compares ...
You can use the EcoFlowinteractive calculatorto calculate how much power you need for your tiny home. For example, a tiny home under 600 sq ft that uses modern appliances — microwave, TV, air conditioning, cooker, water heating, etc. — would use roughly 16.16kWh per day. For this level...
Assuming an electricity cost of 11 cents per kWh (your actual cost may be higher or lower, depending on your provider), the cost to power the VCR comes to about $12.53 per year, or just over $1 per month. When you think of it in those terms, it doesn't seem like much. But ...
