From Energy Newsline:
British drivers that took the plunge to go green and pick up an electric vehicle (EV) may now bear the brunt of sky-high energy prices from October.
Ofgem’s announcement that the price cap will rise to £3,459 will be reflected in the cost of driving an EV, with the price of electricity almost doubling from 28p per KWh to 52p. This is while petrol prices have dropped in recent weeks to an average of £1.70 per liter.
A study by the RAC has revealed the differences of running an EV with its petrol equivalent in a new study. Drivers of a Jaguar i-Pace – the company’s electric SUV model – would expect to pay £99 more to travel the same distance as the petrol version; a Jaguar f-Pace.
