[ausev] real $/mile or $/energy unit for conversions

[Sarah & Erik]

Large state electric users pay 1.5c/kwh + 3.5c/kwh fuel charge =
5c/kwh (for demand greater than 20kw). There is an additional fee
charged for the peak power used during a month, but if the vehicles
can be charged at night this would be avoided.

EV kwh/mile ranges from .176 on the Tesla, to about .400 on a Ranger
(pulled from a few blogs)

Then:

Car		Kwh/Mile	 Energy Cost/Mile @ $.05/kwh	Energy Cost/Mile @ $.10/kwh
Tesla		  0.176		   $.0088 $/mile		          $.0176 $/mile
Average EV	0.300		$.015 $/mile			       $.03 $/mile
Truck EV	0.400		$.02 $/mile			         $.04 $/mile

$.10/KWh is a pretty standard residential rate, and .05 is pretty
standard for large consumers, as long as it's not adding to the peak
KW charge.

For reference a 30 mpg ICE vehicle using $3 gas is $.10/mile.

I actually haven't checked mine, but these are pretty standard numbers to use.
