New electric vehicles priced under $50,000 generally offer a range capacity of around 480 kilometres, while more expensive models can go even further. It’s important to note that the average Australian drives less than 50 kilometres per day, making range anxiety less likely to be a problem for most daily commutes. Additionally, the majority of EV charging takes place at home, where overnight charging can easily replenish the vehicle’s battery.
For most households, daily charging may not be necessary, and in some cases, a single
charge per week would suffice. It’s worth mentioning that ongoing advancements in battery technology by manufacturers are continually improving the driving ranges of EVs, offering even greater distances on a single charge.
Governments have also started recognising the importance of supporting EV adoption and have started providing funding for chargers in regional locations. This initiative ensures that drivers can confidently travel longer distances across Australia, alleviating any concerns about finding charging infrastructure during road trips.
The cost of charging an electric vehicle (EV) can vary depending on your location, electricity rates, and the specific model of your EV. In Australia, it costs approximately $0.20 – $0.25 per kWh to charge your EV at a level 2 EV charging station.
To estimate the charging cost, we can use the average energy consumption of an EV, which is approximately 20 kWh to travel 100 kilometres. Multiplying this by the electricity rate, it would cost approximately $4.50 in electricity charges to travel 100 kilometres in an electric vehicle.
In comparison, the average petrol car in Australia uses 11.1 litres of fuel to travel 100 kilometres, based on data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Considering a petrol price of $1.50 per litre, the cost of travelling 100 kilometres in a petrol car would be $16.65, which is substantially more expensive.
Some key considerations to help you choose the right EV charging station include:
