1/3 the carbon footprint of a car? When I do the math on kilowatt hours, one full charge gets me three commuting trips, which would normally cost me a gallon and a half of gas. And the charge for my bike works out to cost me about six cents. I don’t know how you’re figuring your carbon footprint, but it should be a whole lot less than what you’re describing. Have fun out there!
