How much does it cost to charge an electric car and when will it pay off

The main advantage of an electric vehicle over a gasoline car is cost savings. Charging a BYD Song Plus EV at home costs about 18,400 soms per 100 km. A Chevrolet Cobalt running on AI-92 gasoline spends around 92,000 soms for the same distance, which is 5 times more. Together with payme, we decided to figure out whether home charging is really that profitable and how much you will need to invest to set it up.
