Average power consumption for an EV is 0.2 kWh/km. The current (very high) price of 1.5 SEK/kWh gives a price of about 3 SEK per 10 Km for an EV.
Diesel price in Sweden right now is about 18 SEK/Liter (also a record high). A good diesel car needs maybe 0.7 liters per 10 Km => 12.6 SEK per 10 Km for a diesel car.
So an EV is still more than 4 times cheaper when comparing the cost to power the car.
- yobbo 5y ago> The current (very high) price of 1.5 SEK/kWh The average December price was around 2 SEK/kWh in southern Sweden, which after net fees/tax/vat is around 3 SEK/kWh for home charging. Assuming a charging efficiency of 85%, and Tesla given range numbers are accurate, that should give around 6 SEK/10Km. But actual range should decrease in winter weather. > A good diesel car needs maybe 0.7 liters per 10 Km An efficient diesel is around 0.5l/10Km depending on driving style. So it's close to parity with electric at the moment.
