Electric driving costs

The cost of EV charging at home depends on your electricity tariff in your region. An average electric car consumes 15 to 20 kWh per 100 km. So, if your rate for electricity at home is CHF 0.32 and you drive an average of 15'000 km per year, then the cost of charging your car will be between CHF 720 and 960 per year. Keep in mind that in most cases, charging at home is cheaper than at public points.

When charging on the road, you pay the rate determined by the charging station operator. In addition to a kWh price, the operator can also charge a starting rate and an incentive rate. In example on 'Find a charge location with Shell Recharge' you will find an overview of available charging stations in Europe with the price per kWh.
