> It is the electric car with the lowest consumption (12.5 kW / 100 km) That is actually one of my pet peeves ... some basic math gives you: 12.5 kWh/100km * 0.4-0.8 €/kW = 5-10 €/100km [1] 12.5 kWh/100km * 393g CO2eq/kWh = 4.913 kg/100km [2] Now compare that to the Toyota Corolla (Hybrid) that he originally looked at: 4.5 l/100km * 1.6-1.8 €/l = 7-8 €/100km [3] 4.5 l/100km * 2.237 kg/l = 10.7 kg/100km There are some assumptions that tilt this calculations into the EVs favor though: 1. Charging is never 100% efficient, more likely around 90%. 2. That number is based on E5 fuel, E10 takes some of that off as well. 3. 12.5 kWh/100km is what is given by Tesla, independent tests e.g. by ADAC (German Car "Club") cites 17.2 kWh or 18.6 kWh. So overall the numbers shift a lot towards the hybrid: (18.6/0.9) kWh/100km * 0.4-0.8 €/kWh = 8-17 €/100km (assuming 90% charging efficiency) --- [1] Common price for electricity in German households, better if you have solar, much worse if you have to buy for 0.6-0.8 €/kW at public chargers. [2] Based on CO2 emmisions in Germany, averaged over a year https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/DE/12mo/monthly https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/DE/12mo/monthly ... better in summer (solar), worse in winter (coal). [3] High price for E10 in Germany, more likely 1.6-1.7€/l
