Leasing an electric car in Lakeway and Bee Cave

Everything about Lakeway pushes toward a bigger car: longer distances into town, 620 and 71 at speed rather than in traffic, and hills that use energy on the way out even if you get some back on the way in. Highway driving is the one case where an electric car is less efficient than its city number, so we quote Lakeway customers from the highway figure, not the combined one.

Towing is the other local question. Boats and small trailers are common here, and a trailer costs roughly a third of your range. The Kestra Ridge SE tows 3,500 lb braked and will do the run to the marina and back without a stop, but a trip to Port Aransas with the same trailer needs two charge stops planned before you leave.

The upside is the infrastructure. Homes in the Lakeway and Bee Cave area almost universally carry 200 amp service, garages are deep and several customers have gone to two chargers so both cars plug in overnight without a schedule argument.

Charging in Lakeway

Dual charger installs are common here. The second unit on a shared circuit with load sharing costs about $640 more.

Questions fromthis area

If a question you have is not here, call and ask for a lease advisor. Nobody will read you a script.

The unit and a standard install are included on a 36 month lease or longer. Standard means up to 40 feet of conduit from your panel to the wall, plus the City of Austin permit and inspection. If your home needs a service upgrade from 100 to 200 amps, that is quoted separately and typically runs $1,450. We survey before you sign, so you know which one you are in.

On the Austin Energy EV plan overnight at $0.1175 per kWh, a car using 25 kWh per 100 miles costs about 2.9 cents a mile. The same car on public DC fast charging at $0.44 per kWh costs about 11 cents a mile. Charging at home is roughly a quarter of the price, which is the single biggest running cost decision you will make.

Expect 10 to 15 percent in genuine heat, mostly to air conditioning rather than to the battery. Winter is a smaller effect here than it is up north, and cars with a heat pump lose noticeably less. Sustained highway speed costs more than temperature does: 80 mph on I-35 will use around 20 percent more than the EPA combined figure.
