Have you ever wondered how much you will spend in electricity costs if you own an iPad?
According to a recent study, it has been discovered that the little must-have devices from Apple are actually quite energy efficient.
Consumers who fully charge their iPad tablet every other day can expect to pay $1.36 for the electricity needed annually to power the device, based on an assessment by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI).
The analysis shows that each model of the iPad consumes less than 12 kWh of elelctricity over the course of a year, based on a full charge every other day. By comparison, a plasma 42” television consumes 358 kWh of electricity a year. EPRI conducted the analysis in Knoxville, Tenn., at its power utilization laboratory. Costs may vary depending on what region that a consumer resides and the price of electricity in a particular location.
So there you go….your iPad will only cost you a little more than a value burger at McDonalds each year!
