If you don’t stay informed, you’ll miss out on the best deals
"Hi, I’m writing in response to your article about how much charging really costs us. I don’t have a wallbox yet (I’m leaving my car in the garage while waiting for work to be done on installing communal wallboxes). But even by charging only at public stations, I’m saving a lot. I use the Atlante subscription: it costs 9.99 € per month (which is covered by just one charge of 40 kWh) and it charges me 0.49 €/kWh for electricity. However, thanks to the 50% cashback I get as a credit, my actual cost is 0.24 €/kWh net. In June I bought a VW ID.3 with a 59 kWh battery. In 4 months I drove over 5,000 km with an average consumption of 15 kWh/100 km. This summer I even made a trip from Puglia to Austria and back: it was an excellent experience on the highway using Atlante and Free To X. By leveraging the right apps to save money, such as Electroverse, EVDC, or Atlante itself."
I spend a hundred euros less per month
I used to have a Toyota C-HR Hybrid that achieved an average fuel efficiency of 16 km/l with predictive driving. On the average 1,300 kilometers I drove per month, my previous expenses ranged from 145 euros (at 1.80 €/liter gasoline) to 165 euros (at 2.00 €/liter). Now, with electricity costing 0.24 € and a subscription fee, my monthly expense is around 60 euros. It’s true that you won’t notice the savings if you don’t look into it, but a quick search and choosing the right provider will do the trick: even without a home charging station, I’m saving about 100 euros net just on “fuel.” Not to mention the insurance cost that’s almost halved and the reduced maintenance needs. In fact, before selling it, my C-HR played a costly prank on me due to chlorine in the gasoline. That’s what pushed me to buy an electric car. Thank you.” Michele
Answer. What to say? Only that Michele’s experience confirms that now not only are charging costs lower than gasoline refueling, but car maintenance—covering regular service and repairs—is also significantly less expensive.
