Electricity for electric car costs only about half as much as gasoline per kilometer

If you drive an electric car, you spend an average of 730 euros a year on electricity, the CHECK24 agency portal - for petrol engines, the fuel for the same route, on the other hand, costs 1385 euros a year, i.e. with 655 euros more.This means that drivers of petrol engines have to pay almost twice as much per kilometer as those who are traveling with an electric car.If you also load your own wall box with electricity from a photovoltaic system on the roof, you will further reduce your costs.

The calculation of Check24 is the average mileage in Germany of 11.387 kilometers a year, a power consumption of 20.7 kilowatt hours per 100 kilometers, a gasoline consumption of 7.8 liters per 100 kilometers and the gasoline costs from June 2021.In addition, it is assumed that the electric cars are only loaded at home.

"Many consumers are wrong when comparing electricity and gasoline costs," says Steffen Suttner, Managing Director Energie at Check24.This is reflected in the results of a representative survey that commissioned the placement portal: only ten percent of those surveyed who have bought a car in the past twelve months or are planning this have bought an electric car or are planning this.50 percent have chosen a petrol engine or planning the purchase, at 22 percent the choice falls on a car with a diesel engine and 13 percent on a hybrid.
