Quick update:
-
I’ve owned my Renault Zoe ZE50 since March 2020 and driven 5612 miles.
-
Used approx. 1200kWh.
-
4.66 miles per kWh average
-
I’ve charged it pretty much exclusively on octopus go overnight tariff and this has cost me a total of £66.
-
This works out to 85 miles per £1 or 1.2 pence per mile.
This online calculator suggests the equivalent cost in diesel for 5612 miles would be:
- £612 (rather than £66)
- 10.9p/mile (rather than 1.2p/mile)
- 9 miles per £1 (rather than 85 miles per £1).
This means I have saved approximately £546 in fuel costs so far (£612 minus £66).
Looked at another way, I save nearly £1 every 10 miles I drive an EV.
