Trend of increasing charging prices “worries a lot”. Domestic loading costs less than half.
Charging an electric car in the public network cost, in April, 49 more cents than supplying a car diesel to travel 100 kilometers.
The numbers are presented by the Association of Electric Vehicle Users (UVE), and show that the situation is getting worse for the green: if the 100 -kilometer route was the year the year 7,89 eurosin April 2024, the same route cost 7.66 euros, according to the UVE electric mobility observatory.
Like fossil fuels, price per kilowatt/hour also oscillates. Now its growing tendency is a source of alarm for supporters of sustainable mobility.
“More than the cost itself, the trend of increase We worry a lot. Without a competitive cost, the transition to electric mobility will be slowerpeople will be withdrawn, ”warns Pedro Faria, president of UVE, to the newspaper.
One of the reasons pointed out for this climb is related to the proliferation of high -power loaders in the public network: they carry faster, but are also more expensive. But the lowest power stations have also increased prices – especially in large cities, where demand is higher and the times of waiting and unavailability tend to increase.
“The network is very overwhelmedwe have many users to arrive and the network goes accompanying, but it is insufficient, ”explains Pedro Faria.
“On average, 90% of the network is not being used. Now we have zones where this occupation is very large and there is no strong crowd of shipments,” he said.
Currently, the public network Mobi.e It has 6193 posts and 11,517 taken in the country – 1805 more posts compared to the previous year – but the distribution is unequal: Crow, Mourão, Arches, Mação, Sabrosa, and Coura walls do not yet have a loading station.
Deco also warns of the absence of a uniform fare between the various operators, the fiscal charges and the amount charged by the electricity traders themselves for electric mobility as possible culprits.
O Payment model in the public network is another complication. The user of an electric car only knows how much he will pay after the load is completed; It is necessary to have a contract with a power supplier or use preloaded applications or associated with bank cards; Not all posts accept the various payment modes.
Domestic charging costs less than half
“Os consumers should choose domestic loadingwhich is more predictable and economic, ”says Deco Proteste Mariana Ludovino spokesman to JN.
The average cost per 100 kilometers loaded at home is around 3.19 euros – less than half the value charged on the public road.
To get these more economical values it is also important program the loads for times when the cost of electricity is lower and avoiding peak consumption periods.
UVE confirms that the interest in household loading is increasing: half of new users already purchase a residential post at the time of purchase of the vehicle.
