Hello,
I used to track car gas usage with beancount. I now have an electric car.
It's plugged in at home, and is therefore part of my electric bill.
I know exactly how many kWh go into my car each month, and would like to
get an estimate of what portion of my electric bill goes to the car. This
doesn't have to be precise - 0.15 $ / kWh is close enough, and we don't
have variable rate electricity (yet) where I live.
What's the best way to do this? Currently I have
2023-12-31 open Expenses:Car USD
2023-12-31 open Expenses:Car:Energy KWH
2023-12-31 price KWH 0.15 USD
And then I post to an account with:
2024-01-02 * "City Electric Co" ""
Expenses:Utilities:Electric 42.24 USD
Liabilities:ChaseCC
2024-01-24 * "Car electricity usage"
Expenses:Utilities:Electric
Expenses:Car:Energy 10 KWH {0.15 USD}
So at the end of the month my electric bill is reduced by $1.50 which is
placed into the Car:Energy expense account.
Does this seem reasonable? Is anyone else doing this? Using a different
method?
Thanks,
-k.
