“Charge your car, it’ll be better” – 9eu50 for driving 60km (hybrid)…

29 comments
  1. Charge your car **at home** (if you can). You paid for 4 hours of being stationary there too. Also, lets say your hybrid uses 8 l / 100 km means you would’ve used 10,272 € in Super 95 at today’s rate. So even with 2,87 stationary rate its still cheaper. 0,61 € is a high starting price tho. I can recommend E-Flux charging card.. which has a 0,29 € starting price. Hybrid is actually passé composé, should’ve gone full-EV instead.

  2. Let’s compare with a normal petrol car.

    7.5 l/100km * 60km = 4.5l * € 2.00 = 9€
    4h parking * 1.0€ / h = 4€ ( 1€/h is the cheapest paying zone in Mechelen, the most expensive one that even lets you stay parked for 4 hours is 1.8€/h)

    Total: 13 €

    9.50€ seems like a good deal to me bro.

  3. That’s in line with what Tesla is charging now in their superchargers.
    Last time I charged in Arlon paid 0,57€/kWh

    around the same you paid. 16,61 * 0,57 = 9,46€
    But with 16kWh I would probably do closer to 100km
    I Tend to avoid public charging except for long trips

  4. Still cheaper than a petrol car.

    Where did you charge it that you have to pay for parking through your charging card? In Brugge you pay for charging via whatever charging card you have (Eneco Mobility for me) and you pay the city for parking space between 9am-8pm.

  5. Public charging stations are crazy expensive compared to at home charging.. it’s like going to a gas station along highways, they also charge premium price compared to local gas stations

  6. No one dare to say it but electric cars in their current style is the biggest scam of our world. You pay more or less the same amount of money to charge them but you have to wait 4 hours (add missed time cost), the battery will use it’s efficiency over time, the battery is using rare metals, the battery has been built in a non environmentally friendly way, if the battery gets damage in an accident there is a possibility that firefighters cannot put down the fire (look at the accident of top gear some years ago), the cost of changing the battery is almost equal to the cost of buying a new car.

    I really like the electric cars but using batteries for that is stupid. The best solution is hydrogen, it has its own disadvantages but it is much better than batteries and it can be produced by the electricity generated by nuclear power plants. Ops, we are shutting down the nuclear power plants (and opening gas burning ones) and that is another stupid decision.

  7. Wow! You have really weak range… I know hybrids are suboptimal, but maaaan. I have an i3 and a full charge is 30 kWh. My worst range (highway, airco, christmas light) is 210km and the best (eco pro +) is 302km. 60 km on 16,6 kWh is scary low.
    I also hate charging points that charge me for connection or time. Silly.
    I charged on a supercharger 3 weeks ago and paid 15 eur. Prices are surely going up, but if you look at fuel prices it is not yet so bad.

  8. Bro ! My gf has a hybrid and we recently realized the same thing ! How come nobody talks about it ??

    We live in bxls, in an apartment, Public charging is the only place we can charge. This is just a big old farce

  9. That’s not cheap. Only wonder though, 16kwh only gets you 60km 😬? It’s not that cold or extremely hot atm right?

  10. isnt that just horrid efficiency of the car? the average is 15 kWh/100km. you have nearly double. What do you drive, and how do you drive?

  11. Lol driving a hybrid is the worst of both worlds .. only if you charge it and have the battery help your engine it has use. If you charge it to go full electric, your dragging a petrol engine and like 40 liters of fuel around for no reason at all .. if you dont charge it, you are carrying atleast 100 kg of electronics around your not using ..

  12. That means your consumption sits around 27 kwh/100km, I think this is a hybrid problem.

    My EV sit around 16-18 kwh/100km with current temperatures.

  13. Wow can I just say that that’s a crazy amount of electricity for only 60 km. It seems to be a very inefficient hybrid.

  14. Als je in een hybride 16kwh verbruikt op 90km, dan is er toch iets grondig mis. Met mijn Tesla model 3 verbruik ik nog minder, en dat is zonder ondersteunende benzinemotor. Ik rij 600 km voor nog geen 19 euro.

  15. My pure electric car can make 100 kms with 16-17kwh.

    If you compare this charging cost of 10 euros with a cost of a diesel car, it would be ~8 litres / 100 kms 8 2.1 euro = 16.8 euro.
    This is still cheaper than fossil fuel cars.

  16. “BuTt ELeCtriC Is ThE fUtuRe”

    Future. Not now. There’s no charging infra that offset the huge overhead in cost

  17. Buy Ecar -> Get 10x 400kwh solar panels. -> Charge car -> profit. Geen zonnepanelen is geen profit jammer genoeg.

  18. They charge a starting fee, a charge per kWh AND a charge per hour? WTF
    I charge at home at pre-covid prices (luckily I had a fixed contract) and it costs me €0,18 per kWh

  19. How is your consumption so bad?

    My model Y uses 16,5kWh per 100 km at highway speeds, you are using over 27,5kWh per 100 km.

    Get a real EV, not hybrid crap, that will be better. Higher cost up front, but if you can afford it, it’s worth it.
