How much have I saved in a year compared to fuel costs

The amount I saved in a year on fuels, gasoline, and diesel: Paolo did the calculations using his Kia EV3. The results are truly impressive. To contact us: info@vaielettrico.it

The savings I achieved with the EV3, at 6.5 km/kWh

I’m building on your recent articles (“Electricity Becoming More Affordable on Gas and Diesel” + “How Much Does It Cost to Drive 100km?”). I also want to share the costs after a year of using the Kia EV3 LR. I should mention that I didn’t keep track of each individual kWh, but I believe the figures are reasonable. I drove 11,660 km, with an average consumption of 6.5 km/kWh over 10,739 km. I was using Normal driving mode, but now I’m switching to Eco mode for better fuel efficiency; we’ll see the new figures in a year. I used public charging stations 10 times. Only once was it out of genuine necessity, as there was a delay in installing the wallbox, and twice as a precaution. In the remaining cases, I charged to test different operators’ or apps’ features. Specifically, I charged 4 times with Electra (my favorite), 2 times with Enel X, and once each with El.

Ectrip, Tesla, then onto the A22. Plus a charging station at the hotel in Desenzano.

I spent 624€ for 11,600 km. Whether it’s gasoline or diesel…

Regarding the total consumption in kWh, I estimate it was 1,793 kWh. At public charging stations, I charged about 208 kWh at a total cost of 133 euros, taking advantage of some promotions or discounts that the distributor doesn’t offer. At home, I charged approximately 1,585 kWh at an average cost of 0.31 euros per kWh, totaling 491 euros. In summary: I drove 11,660 km with an energy cost of 624 euros. The costs mentioned above are for a conventional car. I posted them on my blog 15 days ago, but diesel prices have risen since then. I had a hybrid car with a fuel consumption of over 25 km per liter, so my savings were smaller. But I chose the EV3 considering the environment more than my wallet.

Response. Just a thank you to Paolo and everyone who chooses to share their fuel consumption reports. Real ones, beyond what the manufacturers claim.
