Electricity is becoming increasingly cost-effective compared to gasoline and diesel
Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly cost-effective compared to gasoline and diesel cars. The price data from Adiconsum and TariffEV for September leaves no room for doubt. This updates the comparison of costs per 100 km published a few days ago.
Electric vehicles are increasingly cost-effective: cost per 100 km comparison
There are numbers that exceed a thousand words. In this case, it’s the tables from the monthly report prepared by the two partners that show us the fuel dispenser has become more cost-effective than gas pumps. This holds true even when the refueling is done with high-capacity, most expensive fuels. The comparison was based on fuel prices as of September 12th: diesel (Self) at 2,242 euros per liter, gasoline (Self) at 2,025 euros per liter, and LPG at 0.76 euros per liter. If one has the option to refuel at home, the savings are incredible. It’s possible to recover the higher purchase price in a very short time, as shown in the table below. This is a particularly interesting comparison for those who manage large fleets of company vehicles, as they have the option to refuel at work.
Here are the most cost-effective brands for AC, DC, and HPC.
As every month, the Observatory publishes the average prices for each type of charging: AC, DC, and HPC. The prices range from 0.62 for DC chargers to 0.74 for HPC chargers. Surprisingly, HPC chargers turned out to be slightly cheaper than less powerful DC chargers. This is partly due to promotions offered by various brands for faster charging and partly because of the influence of Tesla Superchargers on the average price. As usual, the survey’s editors identified the most affordable brands in each category. For AC charging, rates start at 0.25 euros per kWh, a price that is competitive even with home charging. In the DC category, iPlanet leads with a rate of 0.35/kWh, which is very affordable. For HPC charging, Tesla still dominates with its Superchargers, offering rates starting at 0.26. However, this price is available only to Tesla owners.
