That's how much it costs to cover 100 kilometers in an electric car

Electric cars are still – and despite government support in several places – very expensive to purchase. But what does it look like with the price per 100 kilometers?

How much it costs to cover 100 kilometers in an electric car obviously depends on several factors. First of all, the price of electricity.

Because it can – just like the price of petrol and diesel – vary from stand to stand. In addition, people in electric cars who have access to a home charger must also take this into account.

At Dutch Autovisie, they still believe they have a pretty good idea of what 100 kilometers in an electric car approximately costs. That is, if you charge from the public charging stations.

This winter, the medium made an 845-kilometer trip in a Tesla Model 3. Along the way, the car was charged three times. Twice at a Tesla Supercharger and once at a more expensive charging stand from Fastned.

The trip was short in temperatures around minus 4 to plus 2 degrees. Tesla stuck to an average consumption of 17.8 kWh per 100 kilometers.

And from this, the media believe to have created a very simple calculation. Actually two. Because it was cheaper to charge at Tesla's own superchargers.

But at Fastned, 100 kilometers in a Tesla with that power consumption costs 12.28 euros. Because each kW hour cost 0.69 euros.

Converted to Danish currency, it is just under 92 kroner when it is most expensive. Autovisie writes that you can – at least in the Netherlands – deduct just under half from the total amount if you can stick to Tesla's own charging stations.

But then it also requires that you pay Tesla a subscription for the use of the charging stations. In Denmark, it costs DKK 75 per month. But there are also Teslas on the roads that charge for free at Superchargers. Tesla only dropped that option in November 2016.

To have something to compare with, Autovisie did the same trip in a gasoline-powered Volkswagen Tiguan.

Here you paid 12.6 euros for 100 kilometres, because the car had an average consumption of 15.8 kilometers per liter and petrol cost 2.01 euros (15 kroner, ed.) per litre.

Speaking very much of Superchargers, Tesla plans to build Europe's largest collection of such charging stations right here in Denmark. Read more about it here .
