But: in almost all situations filling up electrons is cheaper than gas.
It ranges from "electricity will cost you a little more per kilometer than gas" (very rare) to "electricity is slightly cheaper than gas" (most common) to "filling up your car with electricity gets you money back". (rare, but more common last year)
For Americans: My 1984 VW does 1l/8.5km. A full tank costs me over €95 in the Netherlands, and over €70 in neighboring countries. Driving to do a week surfing in France (2x1500km) costs me over €800 in petrol.

- manuelmoreale 2y agoYou also picked a car with an abysmal efficiency though so I’m not sure how useful that is as a datapoint. I can do roughly 1000km with one full tank so the math in my case if I was doing your 2x1500km would be around 200€ based on current prices.
- berkes 2y agoIt's not representive, sure. Just painting a picture. European cars are (were?) more fuel efficient than US ones. I guess, partly because of the price of petrol in Europe. There are Dodge Rams, oversized SUVs and other rediculously inefficient cars driving on dutch roads, but far less common than in the US.
