Go Green with a Mooncool E-trike

E-trikes are rapidly becoming a popular mode of transportation. As the cost of fossil fuels continues to range upward and motor vehicles become more expensive to own and operate, many people are searching for an alternative option. This trend is coupled with more people working and engaging in activities closer to home.

E-trikes have emerged as a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective transportation alternative. Despite being cost-effective, e-trikes do come with additional expenses beyond the initial purchase. E-trikes are battery powered, and prospective owners need to consider the cost of charging.

The Actual Cost of Charging an E-trike

The good news is that charging an e-trike is amazingly affordable! In the United States, the average cost of charging an e-trike is 5 cents per charge, totaling on average about $22 per year to maintain the e-trike battery fully charged and operational.

There are a few countries where this same charging costs less than $15. However, the United States still falls on the lower end of the charging cost spectrum. Energy costs vary from state to state, but you'll be pleasantly surprised to discover how cost-effective it is to use an e-trike on a cost-per-mile basis – regardless of your location. Keep in mind that all batteries have a limited lifespan, but for Mooncool e-trike batteries, riders enjoy a very long lifespan. Even considering the cost of replacing the battery, overall energy expense remains far less expensive than any other motored transportation.

Mooncool estimates our batteries to last at least 500 charging cycles, and riders should expect to replace the battery every four to six years. With Mooncool batteries costing $250-$400 each, this nevertheless remains significantly more economical than keeping a car on the road, allowing you to allocate your cost savings elsewhere in your life.

Know Exactly the Expense for Charging

1. Determine your battery's capacity

Check your e-trike battery specifications for its watt-hour capacity. If that’s not available, you can calculate the watt=hours (Wh) by multiplying the battery voltage by the amp hours (Ah).

1. Convert the Wh to kWh

Your local electricity provider probably uses kilowatt-hours (kWh) when billing, with 1 kWh equal to 1 unit of electricity. To convert the Wh to kWh, simply divide the Wh by 1,000.

1. Multiply the kWh by your local electricity provider's rate

In summary, the formula is your energy rate per kWh x battery's kWh capacity = expense of charging.
