How many kilometers of road can you travel with an electric car for 50 euros?

With the advent of electric cars, doubts have been raised about the differences between these and combustion engine models, namely in terms of the price of travel. After all, how many kilometers on the road is 50 euros on the tram?

One of the aspects to consider when buying a car, whether it is internal combustion or battery electric, is consumption.  If, on the one hand, the first depends on the differences between the fuel variety, albeit residually, on the variety supplied to stations for this purpose, the second depends on a longer list of parameters.
One of them is the return shipping cost.  Today, we are going to calculate how many kilometers we can cover, on average, in an electric car, with 50 euros.

Depending on the charging power, the recharge rate can be very low or very high.  Usually, if electricity is charged at conventional, domestic outlets, recharging will be slow but cheap.  However, if they are recharged at stations for this purpose, the process is quick, but more expensive.
However, the most economical way is local shipping.  However, the answer should not be linear, as this will depend on variables such as the contract with the energy supplier and the time the trams will be recharged.  So keep in mind that we are going to calculate the average.
Since the price of electricity is variable, we will use the average market rate, 0.13 € / kWhobtained from the basic values ​​of electricity charged by the main suppliers in Portugal: EDP, Endesa, Gold Energy, Iberdrola and Galp.

We will add a new variable to the bill: the consumption of electric vehicles which, of course, varies according to their efficiency, for example.

Keep in mind that the Nissan Leaf, in its E + version, has a consumption of 18.5 kWh / 100 km.  In contrast, the BMW iX1 indicates between 16.8 and 18.1 kWh/100 km.  Then the Porsche Taycan announces between 19.6 and 23.9 kWh / 100 km, and the standard Tesla Model 3 consumes about 14.4 kWh / 100 km.

In Portugal, how many kilometers do you pay 50 euros for an electric car?
Taking into account an average of 18 kWh per 100 km, the process consists of dividing 50 euros by the price of electricity and then dividing this result by the consumption of the electric vehicle.  The final value corresponds to the number of kilometers that can be traveled by the specified value.
Taking the averages we are considering, 50 euros would give about 385 kWh of energy - therefore, about 2265 kilometers.

As emphasized, these numbers are not weatherproof and depend on several factors, such as the time and place where shipping takes place (for example, we consider domestic shipping, so the values ​​will be different, if calculated for the public network).  However, estimates can be of great help when analyzing the operating value of an electric vehicle.
