Mobility: Electricity instead of petrol - how much does an electric car save on refueling?
Due to the Iran war, fuel prices are still at an all-time high. How much can be saved by charging instead of refueling? The Handelsblatt calculator shows it.
Fuel prices at charging stations continue to set new records, driven by the ongoing Iran war and the resulting blockade of the Hormuz shipping route. As of the latest data, one liter of gasoline (E10) costs an all-time high of 2.286 euros in Germany, according to the ADAC. Diesel remains only slightly cheaper at 2.412 euros per liter, having only recently dropped four cents from its April peak.
Considering a potential switch to electric vehicles (EVs), consumers are now faced with another crucial question: How much money could they save annually with an EV compared to a traditional gasoline car? The Handelsblatt has developed a calculator to help estimate annual savings between charging an EV and filling up a conventional car.
To use the tool, drivers simply need to input their annual mileage, the fuel consumption of their current gasoline vehicle, the expected efficiency of the EV they are considering, and the basis year for gasoline and electricity prices.
