Leasing an electric car in Round Rock

Most Round Rock drivers we lease to are running 30 to 45 miles a day into north Austin or the Domain, which puts them squarely in the 12,000 mile band rather than the default 10,000. Guessing that wrong is the single most expensive mistake in a lease: 2,000 miles over at $0.25 is $500 you did not plan for. We size the band from your last two years of odometer readings, not from a hopeful estimate.

The housing stock helps. Homes built after 2000 around Teravista and Forest Creek almost always have a 200 amp service and a garage wall within 15 feet of the panel, so the standard Level 2 install goes in without a panel upgrade and without trenching. Our electrician does the survey by photograph in most cases, which means the charger is live before the car is delivered.

Because the I-35 run is predictable, Round Rock customers get the most out of a longer range car. An Aveon Lume S at 25 kWh per 100 miles covers a week of that commute on one overnight charge, so the car is plugged in twice a week instead of every night.

Charging in Round Rock

Post 2000 homes in Round Rock nearly always take the standard $0 install. Older properties off Chisholm Trail sometimes need the 100 A to 200 A upgrade.

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.
