Vauxhall electric car charging costs

Is a new car on your to-buy list? If so, you might well be considering making an electric car your next vehicle purchase.

Though exciting, if you have not owned an electric car before, this may be a scary step. Getting your head around the logistics of electric car ownership and the cost of charging is something you will need to consider.

Many people are unsure as to how much charging an electric car will cost, but many people also like the look of the Vauxhall electric car range. So giving clarity on the cost of charging new Vauxhall electric cars is something we are keen to do.

Here we outline the costs of charging a selection of Vauxhall electric cars, all of which are currently available at Thurlow Nunn.

Electric VS petrol

When buying an electric car, it’s natural to be inquisitive as to how much your electricity bill is going to go up by. Though you won’t be spending on petrol any longer, if there is a massive rise in your electricity use then you are going to notice this in your wallet.

But in fact, electric car charging is generally significantly cheaper than the cost of filling your car with petrol. Therefore purchasing an electric car is not only great from an environmental and emissions perspective, but can also be a good thing for your bank balance month to month.

When judging the cost of charging an electric car, we use a special algorithm to provide you with an idea of charging costs:

Energy rate (kw/h) x battery capacity

An overnight energy rate of 8p per kw/h is available at present. This means it is possible to work out the overall cost of fully charging an electric vehicle based on the battery size quite easily.
