Energia<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSo, let\u2019s do some basic maths to show you the effect you might be able to have on the running costs of your EV. The average Irish driver covers 10,000 kilometres a year which, in a typical petrol car, would cost around \u20ac1170.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By comparison, in a typical EV, at SSE’s Standard Tariff of 48.24c\/kWh from 1st<\/sup>\u00a0July, those same 10,000 kilometres would cost \u20ac753 for the entire year. However, if you switched your home charging to an off-peak tariff such as SSE’s Night Boost (at just 12.42c\/kWh) and managed to only charge during those hours (which many Ohme customers do) then those same 10,000 kilometres would cost just \u20ac194.06.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"How much does it cost to charge an electric car at home?
