So does anyone know let’s say over a year how much the electric would be to run a electric say let’s say 8000 miles a year any ideas
This will depend on where you charge the car & on which car you choose as some cars are more efficient than others, but I’l have a go:
For 1 year on my current 15p per kW/h tariff for electricity at home, 100% home charging for a Peugeot e2008 WLTP 230Wh/mi (watt hours per mile) – £348
For 1 year using a specific EV tariff at 5p per kW/h, 100% home charging – £116
For 1 year using instavolt rapid DC chargers at 35p per kW/h only – £812
This will give you an idea of costs using EVs, if you do 8000 miles with the petrol 2008 at £1 a litre doing 49 mpg (WLTP) £741, and at £1.30 a litre £963.
