Stirbt das Elektroauto durch hohe Strompreise? Hier ein Vergleich.

Electricity costs have risen sharply in Germany in recent months and the question continues to arise in the press whether it is still worth buying an electric car and whether it is still worth it. In this video I will show you an experience I have. In recent years I have been 163 degree Oliver and I have been driving electric cars since 2014. What have I not had to listen to in that time like many of you who have been driving electric cars for a long time? to your cobalt mine Dear Ann-Kathrin from Hamburg Blankenese Here in the Congo we send the raw materials for the batteries of your electric car and we work day and night for your climate balance.

Child labor in Congo to promote elves. South America for farmers Due to lithium extraction, we know all the classics that we no longer have. I've chewed it x times this summer, something new came along with a blackout. The probability of a blackout is greater than ever. sooner, especially in the coming years. Now we're over the hysteria and everyone has a backup generator in the basement. Absolutely impossible, because if there isn't a lot of noise, it still comes from the cars, but seriously, there won't be. a blackout caused by electric cars but now it's getting personal because it's about money, electricity prices are going up and some of you are now getting news from the electricity supplier about the prices they will charge in the coming months 40 cents, 45 cents and 50 cents are not at all unusual and, in addition, the price increases for charging cards for a few months have bothered us because ionity charges 79 cents for Tesla to charge them.

Prices at the supercharger have already risen in some cases by up to 80 cents, depending on which tariff you use to charge. Most load cards today cost between 30 cents and just over 50 cents, depending on what type of card it is and where you load from. That's the norm these days and electricity critics are making a comeback. In my opinion, these goals have been completely missed, Man Ferdi, I thought you knew that. So much about electric cars and then, well, what about electric cars and electricity costs? An example from my personal experience of the last few days. If you follow this channel, you probably know that I was in Berlin a few weeks ago. for the neo event where Neo presented the new et7 at the Tempodrom and for that I had to go to Berlin and Hamburg Berlin, that is an ideal route.

You like to take the ICE, it takes an hour and a half and usually you can't do that by car in Berlin. There are enough cars. Car sharing is popular. No need to bring your own, so I took the train and took the ICE. It also worked great, but when I did it. I wanted to come back on Saturday, it was absolute chaos. It was exactly on Saturday that this sabotage occurred on the cables and that is why all ICE trains, as well as IC and EC trains in northern Germany, are temporarily suspended. Yes, and no one really knew. what was going to happen, no one could tell you what was going on and when it would be fixed and what would happen next and how to get out of Berlin again and that's why I thought about renting a car because the Deutsche Bahn is today It's been a long time since I had any real difficulties with a gasoline engine.

I drive a VW Golf with manual transmission, such a real lift variant is really unusual here and now I'm going to Hamburg. I don't want to do injustice to anyone. The Golf 8 is a really good car and for many it is probably exactly the dream car that you have been wanting for a long time or have saved up for or want to own or whatever, only if you have. driving an electric car for a long time, where I would say it has a completely different acceleration and with just one paddle you don't need the brakes anymore and then it feels a bit like you're done back after driving.

In school, basically the maximum penalty what I missed is, of course, this continuous acceleration and you press the accelerator and the thing dies, of course, when the manual transmission is not the same and you also don't have recovery at traffic lights. Of course you can downshift, but there is no comparison to Hamburg Berlin, which is about 300 kilometers, which is not a big task nowadays, even with an electric car. You can do it in one go with most current models without having to stop to charge. with the Golf, which had no problems. I have to be honest: after getting used to it a bit, both the Golf and I were great, like I said, a fantastic car when I arrived.

In Hamburg, I had to refill the combustion engine to be able to deliver it to me and, although this is not completely and scientifically correct, I know that you would have had to drive two cars at the same time and on the same road and the same weather conditions, etc. , but that gives me a rough estimate of the costs, it is purely subjective and no scientifically taken snapshot compares between a combustion engine and an electric car, so now, according to the numbers, I drove exactly 303 km from Berlin to Hamburg with my El Golf consumed 7.4 liters per 100 km according to the computer, before returning it I had to fill it with a tap.

The tank reads 22 liters and I paid 42 euros for it, calculated in round numbers now that I left out the cents. I look at my Tesla Model 3. In these weather conditions I drive with an average consumption of 18 kilowatt hours per 100 km. We assume that the pressure losses that occur when charging are 20 and since you would drive on the highway, probably a little. more, so I calculated that I would need 60 kilowatt hours for 300 km or 66 kilowatt hours if I use 22 kilowatt hours for 100 km. I think it's realistic, you can do it today if you charge your electric car at the highway service station. , for example, then of course it gets very expensive here, for example at ionity, great service, but 79 cents per kilowatt hour, that's what it means for the 66 kilowatt hours that I use.

Assuming you need it for this tour, you will spend €52.14. and therefore almost 30% more expensive than with the Golf with a combustion engine, but of course at ionity there are other rates, in some cases you receive a recharge card if you buy a new car from one of the consortium partners and, in this respect, I can get a completely different rate at ionity, if I come here more often and everything looks different then you are at €23.10 and you have saved 45% compared to your Golf with a combustion engine and not It always has to be ionity, you can also charge with other providers, in addition to the usual direct current hypercharger that I have behind me.

For example, with the ADAC card at 52 cents per kilowatt hour you would have paid €34.32, still 18% cheaper than with the Golf with a combustion engine, but does it always have to be direct current? You can also charge your car with alternating current if you do it in a public place. If you make a charging station, your 66 kilowatt hours would cost you 39 cents here, which is €25.74 and it would cost you. I have still saved 38% compared to my combustion engine and if, like me, you have the opportunity to charge at home with your own wall box, then you charge AC at home.

Currently maybe it says 45 cents times the current price of electricity, which with 66 kilowatt hours 29 euros 70 is still 29 percent cheaper than with the combustion Golf and now we can move on to two calculation variants so it makes me I am very excited to hear your comments here Below in the video, variant 1, the wallbox with a Here the electricity meter is a switchable or controllable low voltage consumption device according to article 14 of the Energy Industry Law. Rates similar to those of a heat pump are obtained. There are still old contracts and I once calculated 25 cents per kilowatt hour.

In reality it is still there and then you are at 16 euros 50 like a 60% savings compared to the combustion engine, you can calculate like this or not, write it down in the comments and the second daring calculation option is that it does not produce with its own photovoltaic installation with A photovoltaic installation only provides electricity for your home, but you can also use excess electricity to charge your electric car, the so-called photovoltaic surplus charge. In the case of photovoltaic installations, it is a question of how much it costs yourself. -The kilowatt hour generated costs you or what you lose in feed-in rates if you do not use the electricity.

You don't power the grid, you use it yourself and then use it to charge your electric car and I once calculated 12. cents per kilowatt hour as a self-generated price for a kilowatt hour of photovoltaic energy. I think that's a pretty good estimate, some of you are significantly lower if you use 12 cents. If you calculate, they are 7 euros and 92. Not even 8 euros for a trip from Hamburg to Berlin if you find your car at home with the photovoltaic electricity that you generate yourself and if you calculate it with the feed-in tariff it is 8.2 cents. It's five euros 41, so I don't even dare. to calculate the percentage of savings compared to the Golf with a combustion engine and, in addition, there are the usual advantages of electric cars, such as the fact that the brakes do not wear out to the same extent as with the combustion engine and that There is no need to change the engine oil, which can cause sticks to escape from under your car that will eventually fall off and you can park for free in public car parks in Berlin and Hamburg, for example, so even with the increasing electricity costs, the electric car still has real advantages over the combustion engine and its price is also more economical.

If you charge the kilowatt hour in the car here, you will have a hand and there is a wide range between charging card providers, charging at home and charging on the go. , charging with direct current, charging with alternating current This is perhaps also one of the advantages over the combustion engine, where you can choose between three and four. If you have gas stations that differ by two cents, the price range per kilowatt-hour is significantly different. bigger and it is also up to you to inform yourself, have the right charging card at hand and develop a small strategy to be able to obtain electricity at a relatively low price.

Your electric car continues to run even when electricity prices have risen. This is not a scientific study, but. simply a personal experience that I have had in recent years and that was once again demonstrated on the trip with the combustion Golf between Berlin and Hamburg, if the whole topic of electromobility concerns green electricity, wall box charging and photovoltaics, if you are interested, then you have come to the right place.
