Che motivo c’è per la ricarica Ionity più economica in Francia?

The cheapest Ionity charging in France is lower than in Italy. Why, given that it’s chargers with the same power level? This is a question from a reader. Vaielettrico provides an answer. To contact us: info@vaielettrico.it

Cheapest Ionity charging: 0.59 compared to 0.87

“While traveling between Italy and France, I noticed an incredible difference in charging costs despite using the same Ionity provider. Ionity service area Rinovo on Highway A8: power level 350 kW, price 0.87 euros/kWh. Ionity service area Breguieres on the northern part of Highway E80 in France: same power level of 350 kW, price 0.59 euros/kWh. It would be interesting to write an investigative article on this. Best regards,” Paolo Belletti

This is Italy, gentlemen: we pay more for everything

Answer. This is one of the reasons why electric car sales account for 38% in France while in Italy we’re still at 6%. It’s a vicious cycle here, as fewer charging stations are used the higher the prices become. Additionally, the cost of energy plays a role, since prices across the border are lower thanks to nuclear power. We’re a country burdened by abnormally high electricity costs, largely due to our heavy reliance on imports. This is a cost borne especially by businesses. At French prices (0.59 kWh for the most powerful Ionity chargers), electric cars are much more cost-effective than gasoline and diesel. This is also confirmed by the monthly reports prepared by Adiconsum and TariffEV. In Italy, this same advantage exists, as a 50 kW charge at Ionity costs 14 euros.

It’s even more so than in France. And the music remains unchanged, even on Italian-owned networks (such as Eni’s Plenitude) present in the rest of Europe.
