This is compared to charging at home. With a 240v plugin in your garage. Don’t buy electric if you live in an apartment because charging is a nightmare AND more expensive. And if you need to drive more than an hour one-way you’ll probably need to charge on the way home or if you’re going out again the same day. And if you live in an area where it’s cold half the year, enjoy losing ~30% battery efficiency
I mean we don’t have a charger but we charge at work. Sometimes we go into town and buy things and whatnot, then we use the 11 kW charger. It was free before but now it costs $0,025* per kWh.
In -40 we lost 40% range or so, but the ones who have range problems are also mostoften the ones not owning an EV.
I see. Not as blanket as I was saying. It will be up to how friendly your area is for EV. I’m just mentioning the gripes I had before I sold mine. Tesla supercharger are quite expensive, and the other chargers around town were nowhere near that low in my area
For 11 kW it’s a fair price, maybe prices will come down in the future for your area, I hope they’ll put the price of externalities on the product (fossil fuels) and we’ll see what’s more competitive.
