Rapid charge points used by motorists topping up on long drives are now nearly £10 more expensive than filling up a car with petrol, the RAC revealed last week.
But research from the AA published on Monday finds that recharging an electric car even using a slow public charger at peak times can be more expensive, per mile driven afterward, than for refueling a comparable petrol car.
Jack Cousens, the AA’s head of roads policy and recharging, said:
“While pump prices are falling, electricity prices are going in the other direction, but we are hopeful prices could tail off later this year.”
Previous analysis by motoring organizations has showed the cost of charging electric vehicles has soared in recent months, driven by rising energy prices partly triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last February
So, according to this hilarious story, “Topping up the e-Corsa’s charge by 80pc on a slow charger at peak times results in a cost of 16.18p per mile.”
But.
The “costs (of a petrol Corsa) at around 14.45 pence per mile[.]”
Question: What’s left to feel smug about after it costs more to drive your electric car than a car-car?
Well, I guess you can pretend to feel all kinds of virtuous about saving Mother Earth in your Prius, but Global Warming is a hoax. So you’re not saving anything. You’re certainly not saving money, lol.
What’s more, no matter how much denial you conjure up, fossil fuels are still being burned to supply you with the electricity for your car, which, by the way, costs more than filling up your car with fossil fuels.
This is a perfect example of why the free market must be our guide, not politics and certainly not the fake science of Climate Change (which is a hoax).
The government, be it third-world states such as California or our broken, bloated, and corrupt UK government, interfering in the market is always a disaster.
