cost comparison

When making a cost comparison between a "normal" car and an electric car, one must consider the following points:

- Acquisition costs
- Maintenance costs (repair, refuelling / charging, etc.)
- Stability of value

Acquisition costs

The acquisition costs for an electric car are significantly higher than for a petrol car of the same type.
If we take the Hyundai Kona, for example, as a comparison, we are talking about a price difference of 12,000 Swiss francs between the petrol and electric versions.

Costs are calculated per year with approx. 15'000 KM!

 Project by Rémy and Lia

goal for today 11.2.22

I want to do all the tasks before holiday.

If there is still time left, the goal is to continue collecting information.

 

in progress

VVP - Task 12 - Project Bubbles

Project Topic: (7)

We knew from the beginning which topic our post should be. We had a few ideas on what we want to do and what we want to show with our post. 

Team-building: (7)

When we had the topic fixed I knew that I, if it were possible, want to team up with my hostmom from Korea. With the help from Celia we thought about questions we could ask her. 

For the vegan aspect of our post I asked a childhood friend of mine if he has time to answer a few questions about veganism, the same questions I asked Celia in our Podcast.  

 

Communication: (8)

I contacted our interview-contacts via WhatsApp, Facetime and KakaoTalk. We mostly talked/chatted with them during the school leasons or in the aufternoon of Fridays. 

It is really nice and easy to communicate via these internet portals with our contacts even though we have a 6-7 hours diffrence to Korea.

Planing: (5)

We didn't really have a plan when we started. We knew we wanted to do a intervew with my hostmom and show the difference from vegan/vegetarian lifestyles with the lead example of Korea, since they are known for their clean and healthy cuisine.

Still to do:

  • surcery
  • internet research vegan/vegetarien
  • usw...

Research: (5)

Our project is progressing really slow. At first we didn't say who researches about what (no clear work structure), but we getting there now.
