Many thanks Kezo will put photos on later a Kia Niro 2 or 3 ev the 2 is £495 and the 3 is £1995 but lots more equipment I think they will come down January motability phoned me 3 times asking if I want electric ! Yes I thought Niro was noisy but there isn’t much in it compared to my Chr ! So how much total in £££s on the above would I save in 3 years ?
The Niro has a 64.8kWh battery. To calculate cost to charge to 100% you multiply the battery size x electricity cost per kWh (0.075).
64.8 x 0.075 = £4.86 to charger
Kia claim 287 miles from a full charge so 3600/287*4.86 = £61
So theoretically it will cost you £61 over 3yrs at 100 miles per week.
In the real word it will average out at around 260 mile’s per full tank of juice because, as we know with petrol cars WLTP figurers arent accurate. Based on this and charging from home you will have change from £100 🙂
*There is another way of calculating based on miles per Kwh (mpkWh) you get but, its not woth going into now and the majority of time you will be charging up to 80 to 90%.
There are othe EV’s on the scheme with a similar range that are equally as good if not better 🙂
