I can't speak to European charger rates. Here's the math for the US.
I've got an EV and an ICE crossover. The ICE crossover gets like 25mpg highway on a good day.
Let's go on a 100mi trip expecting to only charge by public fast chargers/gas stations.
Gas has been around $3/gal for a while near me. 100mi / 25mpg = 4gal * 3 = $12 in gas.
DC fast chargers around me for my car are ~$0.32/kWh. I'll get like 3.2mi/kWh highway driving my EV. 100mi / 3.2 = 31.25kWh * .32 = $10.
So slightly cheaper than my ICE. If I had a hybrid, it would beat it. 35mpg would be ~$8.57 for that trip. But DC fast chargers are very expensive; residential rates around me can be had for ~$0.12/kWh. Thus, charging at home would be ~$3.75.
- LUmBULtERA 2y agoSame experience for me in the US with a model Y. Charging at home the price is about 1/3 of gas equivalent cost. Charging at superchargers is pretty comparable to gas. Charging at home and not going to a gas station regularly though is also super nice.
