Exactly, to calculate the cost of charging take the kWh size of the battery and multiply by the cost of energy (per kWh).
In this case:
0.5 kWh x £0.15 = £0.075
Like Jeffrey said, not including losses which will be minimal.
No typo, kWh is a unit of energy and not time. 1000Wh to a kWh so regardless of how long it takes to charge, the energy required to do so remains the same.
Well for domestic electricity you pay per kWh and an average rate is probably around £0.15, at least in the UK. So the average bike with a 500Wh battery would cost about £0.075. So nothing basically, you wouldn't even notice it on your electricity bill.
I'm sure they'd be happy to oblige.
The spec on the Haibike is great, I really like the look of it. I had been waiting on the EP8 but the rattle over bumps is a deal breaker for me, the Bosch in the Whyte is audible and quite annoying and from Robs videos it sounds like the EP8 may be even...
Interesting, thanks for that.
As for Pedalabikeaway, they don't make any mention on their website of the e160. I'm 6'3 so ride XL and they recently changed out the one XL they have to the e160RS, and I think one of the two size large as well. Not sure about the other sizes though. I was...
Thanks stiv, I'll give them a look.
I'm really surprised that there aren't more here considering how popular a place it is for MTB.
There was a store in Lydney high street when I moved here a couple of years ago but sadly it closed last year.
Hi all,
New member but long time reader of the forum.
I know there are a few members of the forum in the Forest of Dean area and I was wondering which LBS you use, particularly for new bike sales and warranty? I am relatively new to the area and mountain biking in general so my knowledge of...
