How much does it cost to charge an electric car, and when does it pay for itself?
The main advantage of an electric vehicle over a gasoline car is its cost-effectiveness. If you charge a BYD Song Plus EV at home, 100 km will cost approximately 18,400 soums. A Chevrolet Cobalt spending AI-92 gasoline on the same distance will cost 92,000 soums, which is 5 times more. Together with Payme, we decided to determine how beneficial a home charging system is and how much money it costs to install one.
How much does it cost to charge an electric car and when does it pay off?
Select a car, and all calculations in the article will be adapted to it.
When charged at home, a 100 km trip costs 18,400 UZS. This is 5 times cheaper than petrol expenses.
All charging is done at home. A household without a car consumes 200 kWh per month. A 12% loss during charging is also taken into account.
Why is electricity at home not calculated at 650 UZS? The energy spent on charging is added to the household's usual consumption and moves up to higher tariff tiers.
A separate power grid for charging an electric car is connected officially. The application is submitted online.
