Ok so does getting an electric car really mean saving money?
Someone wrote:
Walking by an electric vehicle charging station today, I stopped and checked the price to charge.....
.32 cents a minute.
That is $19.20 an hour.
If it takes 8 hours for a full charge.
That is $153.60 for a full charge.... and most electric vehicles get about 350 miles on a charge...
That is $.44 a mile..
------------
so I checked and here is a link to show these numbers aren't that far off - Effective April 1, 2022, the cost to charge at BC Hydro EV stations is:
12.07 cents per minute for 25 kW charging (+5% GST)
21.13 cents per minute for 50 kW charging (+5% GST)
27.17 cents per minute for 100 kW charging (+5% GST)

so add to that the value of the car and parts for servicing.. is it worth it?
