Is an electric car really worth it? Price check..
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) https://electricvehicles.bchydro.com...arging-station ------------------- so add to that the value of the car and parts for servicing.. is it worth it? |
