(Finance) – The alarms on the increase in the cost of recharging an electric car “represent only one vision partial of reality “and I am”misleading for consumers and businesses. “He denounces it Motus-Ethe association that gathers the stakeholders of electric mobility, commenting on the results of the research “Electric cars: + 161% for a recharge” released yesterday by Facile.it.
“The cost of electricity on which the calculations are based refers exclusively to electricity purchased by a domestic customer with a volatile price and does not take into account either those who have one rate blockednor those (who now exceed one million self-producers) who, thanks to a plant photovoltaic, eliminate or reduce energy costs. In addition, the survey does not even mention who uses one flat rate for public chargingor a plan, subject to subscription, in which the customer is offered a charging package “explains Motus-E, recalling that generally these types of subscriptions offer rates between 0.31 and 0.35 € / kWh.
Taking a consumption of 6.3 km / kWh as a model, Motus-E calculates that to travel 1,000 km at 0.35 € / kWh, only 55 euros would be spent compared to 83 euros for petrol and 71 euros for diesel calculated. from Facile.it. In addition, the association points out that i fuel prices traditional They were chosen in an ad hoc periodwhere they were lower, and they still benefit from the government’s cut in excise dutieswhich reduced the cost by 47% otherwise they would be today at March levels (about 2.16 € / l for diesel), while theelectric energy has had only the exemption from system chargesequal to approximately 0.04 € / kWh, comparable to 6% of the current energy price.
Taking for example the tariffs charged by the main operators in the sector, such as Enel Energia in the domestic sector and Enel X Way for public top-ups, the convenience of electric charging both at home and at the public columns catches the eye compared to traditional food (in some cases up to 50% less for every 1000 km).
In the case of 100% charging at home, the Enel Flex tariff of Enel Energia continues to render competitive travel by electric compared to petrol / diesel.
But also the comparison with the public top-up continues to be favorable to the electric car thanks to the subscription Flat LARGE by Enel X Way: 45 euros for 145kWh. In fact, the operator wanted to adopt a responsible choice to promote sustainable mobility and to contain, if not cancel, the impact of the rise in the cost of electricity: in the case of travel of 1,000 km in more than a monththe tariff remained unchanged at 45 euros for each type of car (small car, sedan, sedan segment D): for a distance of 1,000 Km in a month register very small increases depending on the type and vary from a range of 45-53 euros for a small car (in 2021 it was 45-49 euros) to 45-50 euros for a sedan (from 45-48 euros) to 45-65 euros for a sedan segment D (from 45-51 euros), with a maximum increase of 22% .
