Charging Prices Rise For Electric Cars

The users of thermal vehicles became the mockery of the users of electric cars due to the recent rise in prices that has affected both gasoline and diesel. However, we all know that the price of electricity, in the context of the energy crisis we are experiencing, has also risen in price. So the prices of refills have not been long in coming. Iberdrola, Zunder, Weena, and a few others have already set new higher prices.

In recent months, it has been common to find publications on social networks of electric car users laughing at drivers of diesel and gasoline vehicles. The rise in fuel prices has led to paying more than 2 euros for each liter of fuel, and it seemed funny to some. But yes, indeed, the energy crisis is similarly affecting everyone. And while the price of electricity has also risen sharply,  electric car charger operators have taken action and raised charging prices.

Prices of charging stations

Zunder has already informed its users of a  30% increase in the price of some of its rates. With this movement, those who previously paid  €0.30/kWh will now start paying  €0.39/kWh at their charging stations. And in reality, this operator continues to maintain remarkably low rates. But, cheap or not, the truth is that its price has increased considerably and we should not rule out more price increases in the future.

Iberdrola was one of the first companies to modify its rates, making them go from  €0.39/kWh, which it previously offered as a price, to  €0.45/kWh. And another major operator, such as  Wenea, has also announced a price increase. Previously it had a rate of  €0.39/kWh and now it has started to serve its energy at charging points of 50 kW of power at  €0.42/kWh.

Electric car charging

These prices for charging an electric car are still lower than refueling a gasoline car, or a diesel. The price per kilometer traveled continues to be favorable to the electric car. However, the energy crisis is affecting any type of mobility, and price increases have not been long in coming.

Any electric car user knows perfectly well that the best option is to charge at home. Although the charging time will be longer, the cost of recharging will always be lower. And as time goes by, and the market penetration of this type of vehicle increases, we will surely see even greater differences.

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

Image
A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar. As for the load, for the moment it has only been revealed that it  will take 43 minutes to go from 10 to 80%  conn

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023. Intense competition and high battery prices make them face strong econ
