The price you pay to charge an EV depends not only on the make and model of your car, but on the country where you live. “We studied the cost of charging electric vehicles across Europe and ranked the 10 cheapest and most expensive countries based on the price of a full charge and driving 100km.”
The cheapest places in Europe to run an EV are mostly in central and southeastern Europe, with the exception of the Netherlands, which has come out on top thanks to generous government energy allowances and financial support for households. Southeastern European countries also tend to have lower sales and a smaller EV market share due to the prohibitive costs of many electrics and hybrids.
