The debate about fuel prices is on everyone’s lips and, above all, in the pockets of every Spaniard. Filling up with petrol or diesel is an act of gallantry, and also saddened by the gap it leaves in our checking account. That’s why the alternative to this indentation is called 100% electric motor.
If you have the opportunity to purchase an electric car, know that the cost of refueling your battery will be immeasurably lower when using a car with an internal combustion engine.
Banality has appeared, I know. But in that the economic cost of an electric car is ridiculous, as we will show you below (despite the fact that the price of an electric car is higher than that of an internal combustion engine, but it makes up for it, believe me).
There are 11,517 public charging points in Spain (data as of July 2021).although there are also establishments or malls that have their own charging zones which, in some cases, are free (see some Carrefour, Burguer King, Bricomart or various Spanish airports such as Madrid, Barcelona or Palma de Mallorca ).
It is also possible to buy charger for car batteries and install it in our house, but there the prices for the device skyrocket. Iberdrola offers them from 592 euros before 1082 eurosdepending on whether it will be a single-family home or a community of neighbors.
FYI, we will tell you that the usable battery time is about 3000 chargesaccording to the studies that have been carried out in this regard and which are currently studies lithium ion those that different brands use most often, although you can find others such as lead-acid (PB-acid), nickel-cadmium (NiCd) or lithium polymer (LiPo) and others.
Based on the fact that the price of electricity fluctuates daily (as well as fuel), this is much more bearable for our finances, since the average consumption per kilowatt about 0.39 euros. It is from this figure that we will make comparisons.
We must also take into account the capacity of the batteries used by your car, since there is a wide variety of them. We leave you with a few examples that range from €41.73 for the Mercedes EQS to €6.86 for the Smart ForTwo.
Mercedes EQS (107 kWh)
Mercedes Benz bets on the winner with an appearance EQS. This model has a 107 kWh battery, which is one of the largest in electric vehicles.
It has a power reserve of 770 km on the WLTP cycle. Well, charging this battery at a public charging point (remember, 0.39 euros per kilowatt) will cost 41.73 euros.
Tesla Model S (100 kWh)
One of the benchmarks for electric vehicles is Tesla Model C. It has a battery that develops 100 kWh.
This Tesla model claims 840 km of autonomy despite having 1,000 horsepower. Charging this battery will cost 39 euros.
Audi e-tron (95 kWh)
Another of the most powerful offerings on the market is the Audi e-Tron (also available in quattro version). With its 95 kWh it has a claimed autonomy of 374 km.
Audi Introduces 360 HP Combined Power If we want to charge this Audi at a public charging station, it will cost us 37.05 euros.
Jaguar I-Pace (90 kWh)
This luxury SUV is powered by a 90 kWh battery pack and two permanent magnet synchronous motors. Jaguar made the I-Pace with 400 hp engines. According to the brand itself, it can offer a maximum autonomy of 470 km.
When we go to charge this battery, we have to pay about 35.1 euros at today’s price.
Nissan Aria (87 kWh)
Nissan Ariya will soon appear on the Spanish market. This new SUV from the Japanese firm will feature an 87kWh battery that the firm says will have a range of 500km.
Nissan will introduce a high-performance version with 394 hp The cost of refilling your battery will be 33.93 euros.
Skoda Enyaq iV 80 (82 kWh)
Skoda
This Skoda SUV has a total battery charge of 82 kWh (77 kWh payload) and is powered by a 204 hp electric motor.
This is the version with the most autonomy, reaching 520 kilometers of autonomy on the WLTP cycle. During the “refueling” of this Enyaq, we would have to pay a total of 31.98 euros.
BMW iX3 (80 kWh)
This BMW SUV develops a total output of 80 kWh (74 useful, according to the company). With this power, it can have a maximum autonomy of 460 km.
iX3 develops 286 hp When we go to the recharging point, we will have to pay 31.2 euros.
Volkswagen ID.4 (77 kWh)
Volkswagen offers two batteries for the new ID.4. 77 and 52 kWh. The first develops a range of 522 kilometers, and the second 340 kilometers.
Thus, if we use 77 kWh, we will pay 30.03 euros, and if 52 – 20.28 euros.
Toyota bZ4X (71.4 kWh)
Toyota is also adding to the electrification of its vehicles with the bZ4X. It offers a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 71.4 kWh, which confirms a range of 500 kilometers.
It should power the entire 150 hp car. If you want to charge the battery, we have to pay 27.84 euros.
Hyundai Kona (64 kWh)
The electric version of the Hyundai Kona is a small SUV with few changes compared to the combustion engine version.
The 64 kWh battery version has 204 hp. and a power reserve of 482 km on the WLTP cycle. Thus, refueling the battery of this Hyundai would cost us 24.96 euros.
Peugeot e-2008 (50 kWh)
This modern and elegant Peugeot SUV offers a 50 kWh battery and develops a maximum output of 136 hp.
The French firm is counting on the 322 kilometers of autonomy that this car has. So when we fill up the battery e-2008 we spent 19.5 euros.
Nissan Leaf (40 kWh)
This small Nissan electric SUV offers two battery options: 40 kWh, which has about 270 km of battery life at 150 hp; and 60 kWh, which offers 385 km of autonomy, which produces 218 hp.
The Leaf’s 40 kWh battery will cost 15.6 euros when we fill it up; and 60 kWh will cost 23.4 euros.
Mini Cooper SE (32.6 kWh)
The battery capacity of the electric MINI Cooper SE is 32.6 kWh with a WLTP range of 234 kilometers. It has a power of 184 hp.
When this small Mini car passes through a charging point, it will have to pay 12.71 euros.
Electric Smart ForTwo (17.6 kWh)
The electric Smart ForTwo is the perfect vehicle for everyday use. Since it weighs little, it wins in consumption and can count on a small 17.6 kWh battery.
This Smart allows us to drive up to 160 kilometers without recharging. Its recharge in a public place will cost us 6.86 euros.
