The electric vehicle &#8211; EV for short &#8211; has long been promised to be the cleaner and more efficient car of the future. Not only do electric vehicles lack tailpipe pollution (as well as tailpipes), they also cut down on noise pollution. EVs are already prevalent in America, China and Europe, and now Australia is starting to catch up. So, do they live up to the promise as the car of the future? And what does it cost to charge an EV? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_86 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">On this page:<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carbar.com.au\/blog\/real-cost-electric-vehicle\/#CHARGING_THE_CAR\" >CHARGING THE CAR<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carbar.com.au\/blog\/real-cost-electric-vehicle\/#HOW_MUCH_DOES_IT_COST_TO_CHARGE_AN_ELECTRIC_VEHICLE\" >HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO CHARGE AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carbar.com.au\/blog\/real-cost-electric-vehicle\/#THE_GOVERNMENT_WANTS_50_OF_NEW_CARS_TO_BE_ELECTRIC_BY_2030\" >THE GOVERNMENT WANTS 50% OF NEW CARS TO BE ELECTRIC BY 2030<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CHARGING_THE_CAR\"><\/span><b>CHARGING THE CAR<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br>If it wasn\u2019t evident from the name, the distinguishing factor of electric cars is that they run on electricity as opposed to diesel, petrol and gas, using energy stored in rechargeable batteries. All electric cars in Australia use lithium-ion batteries, and it is estimated that we have enough lithium reserves to power 4 billion electric cars. <br><br>There are currently three ways to charge up an EV. The first is through a charging station; there are many electric charging stations already operating around Australia, and though they are not yet as ubiquitous as petrol stations, this is obviously expected to change with the estimated increase in electric vehicle sales. Known colloquially as \u201csuperchargers\u201d or fast chargers, these stations are designed to top up an EV as quickly as possible, and with a charge ranging between 25 kilowatts and 135 kilowatts, it can fully charge your EV battery; depending on what model you have, this can take anywhere between 20 minutes and 3 hours. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Annoyingly, at the time of writing, all the different brands and models of electric vehicles mean that one size does <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> fit all, and you may find that your nearest chargepoint does not presently adapt to your EV. Until Australia\u2019s EV infrastructure has caught up to that of the aforementioned EV nations, it means you\u2019ll probably end up doing most of your charging from your home &#8211; which brings us to the other two ways to charge up an electric vehicle. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second way is to invest in a wall charger. Wall chargers convert AC to DC, and will fully charge up a flat EV battery in approximately 8 hours. Finally, you have the option of a socket outlet charger, just a good old fashioned chord that you can plug into a power outlet to give your onboard charger a boost. This is something you can technically take with you and do anywhere, but this will take closer to 14 hours to charge up a battery, so it\u2019s likely you\u2019ll want to do it at home and leave it on charge overnight!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"HOW_MUCH_DOES_IT_COST_TO_CHARGE_AN_ELECTRIC_VEHICLE\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br><\/span><b>HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO CHARGE AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE? <\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b><br><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the likelihood that you\u2019ll be doing most of your charging from home, you probably want to know how it\u2019s going to affect the home power bill, and how that price weighs up against petrol cars. Well, as far as the Electric vs. Petrol debate is concerned, Electric over comes out pretty favourably. As reported in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.choice.com.au\/transport\/cars\/eco-friendly\/articles\/charging-electric-cars#How%20much%20does%20it%20cost%203\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choice.com.au<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, \u201cif the average price of electricity is $0.25 per kWh, and it takes approximately 18kWh to travel 100km, it will cost approximately $4.50 in electricity charges to travel 100km. The average petrol car uses 10.6 litres of fuel per 100km. If fuel is $1.50 per litre, it costs $15.90 to travel 100km.\u201d &nbsp;<br><br>If you\u2019re doing it from a public charging station, it\u2019s absolutely free at most Australian locations, with some exceptions in some stations in SA and NSW that may charge 45 cents per KWh of electricity, in addition to $1 per charging session. Pretty solid value. If you so chose, you can upgrade your charging options, which will incur some additional set up costs; a basic dedicated EV charging unit may cost around $500, and an advanced dedicated EV charging unit may cost up to $2,500. But these upgrades are optional, you can charge an EV through a home powerpoint as easily as you can charge your mobile phone. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"THE_GOVERNMENT_WANTS_50_OF_NEW_CARS_TO_BE_ELECTRIC_BY_2030\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br><\/span><b>THE GOVERNMENT WANTS 50% OF NEW CARS TO BE ELECTRIC BY 2030<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b><br><br><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest incentive for many to buy an electric vehicle is the comparative environmental benefits to the traditional petrol-fuelled cars. With transport discharge increasing with the country\u2019s population growth, transport emission is now responsible for nearly 20% of Australia\u2019s emissions, with almost half of that coming specifically from our cars. Concerned with imminent ecological hazards, there is now a greater pressure to reduce carbon emissions. The Climate Council has reported that the higher the number of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) there is in the atmosphere, the higher the global temperature will rise, resulting in heatwaves, bushfires, intense rainfall, rising sea levels, and impacts on our health. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an attempt to assuage these dangers, the Australian Government has signed the Paris Climate Agreement and set a target for a 26-28% reduction of emissions by 2030, with the Labour Party aiming to have 50% of Australia\u2019s car sales to be electric vehicles by the year 2030, and 50% of government vehicles be electric by 2025. Climate Council CEO Amanda McKenzie said that the policy is the jolt Australia needs to start dealing with transport pollution: \u201cAustralians expect to have access to the best technology but because of poor government transport policy, we have been stuck in the slow lane. European countries are miles in front of us on this issue.\u201d <br><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re concerned with rocketing petrol prices, toxic fumes, or environmental protection, you may have already considered investing in an electric car.
