If electric is the technology of the future we need to learn about the costs: here’s how much electric charging costs in Italy.
The automotive industry plays a significant role in the climate change, with vehicle emissions contributing substantially to the increase in greenhouse gases. For this reason the sector has been under pressure in recent years reduce your environmental impact and actively participate in the fight against global warming.
The European Union has taken decisive measures to promote sustainable mobility, setting ambitious targets for reducing emissions and encouraging the development of cleaner technologies. The most disruptive choice is certainly that of ban the sale of petrol and diesel cars from 2035.
Despite the efforts to turn the market around, in 2024 in Italy the electric cars have already shown signs of trouble, with sales below expectations. The negative trend raises some questions about the most pressing issues to overcome this problem.
As if that wasn’t enough, in recent days there has been a lot of talk about the possibility that the Italian government will introduce some excise taxes on electric charging, a move that could further influence the electric car market. In fact, this is a great way to discourage purchasing of electric cars.
Electricity consumption
The electric, in fact, still carries with it many question marks. Consumers still have many doubts that they must definitively resolve before they can fully rely on this technology. One of these doubts is certainly that relating to expense per kilometre.
To frame an indicative figure, you must first be aware of some fundamental values, and then carry out some simple ones mathematical operation. In fact, we need to know the charging time of the car, i kilometers per year that the vehicle travels, the voltage and the current. The first value to find is that of absorbed powerwhich is calculated by multiplying these last two values.
The calculation
It must then multiply the power absorbed by the charging time of the battery, thus obtaining a value expressed in kWh. Dividing this result by the autonomy you get the amount of electricity consumed per kilometre. From here, the last operation is elementary.
At this point we must consider the charging system and its price: the small columns they can have prices up to €0.45 per kWwhile reloading a home also lower the price to €0.20 per kW. Enough multiply the value found above by the price per kW and you will get the price you spend for each kilometer traveled by the vehicle.
