As we all know, today zero-emission mobility is gaining traction in Italy and around the world, with every car manufacturer offering new electric models on the market; the goal is to reduce polluting emissions, as well as to save on consumption.
Consumers today, however, are still not entirely convinced of the convenience of electric vehicles. There are still many limitations related to reloading anxiety and also to scarcity of infrastructures and columns for energy supply, in Italy we are still too far behind, even if the realities of the sector are moving. But let’s see everything we need to know about charging times and costs.
The electric car attracts a good chunk of motorists who decide to abandon petrol and diesel and the related expenses related to refueling. Clearly, before tackling this major change, it is necessary to evaluate the cost of recharging of electric car batteries.
Zero-emission vehicles can be recharged to your home network at a cost 0.20 euros per kWh, or using one of the alternating current columns that we find on our streets or in some parking lots and dedicated areas, from 11 or 22 kW, spending about 0.45-0.50 euros per kWh. Let’s not forget that there are also fast charge columns with direct current of 50 kW, in this case the cost to recharge the electric car is 0.55 euro kWh.
Cost isn’t everything, motorists want to know too what are the times needed for a recharge. Obviously, this is not an immediate operation, like filling up with petrol. Although the development of technologies is also speeding up these energy supply processes a lot. Full recharging today, to a traditional system, requires About 8 hours. Most car manufacturers, however, offer their electric car customers the possibility of recharging 80% of the battery in just 30 minutes, in order to have the emergency energy reserve useful for daily travel.
Recharge the electric car and in any case a very simple operation and within everyone’s reach, it is obviously necessary to have in mind the amount of residual energy and plan the stop in time, in order to plan all the activities to be carried out during the operation. It’s a real no-brainer, you just have to get used to it.
