Electric Vehicle Charging Costs Decrease, Station Suppliers Tell BTA

Charging an electric vehicle (EV) is becoming ever more affordable, and Bulgaria's national network of charging stations already covers the main roads, which facilitates longer trips. During Sofia Motor Show 2024, Europe's largest show of its kind this year, charging station suppliers active in Bulgaria told BTA that the cost of charging an EV depends on the type of station, the price of electricity and the technical characteristics of the vehicle. If it is done at home, particularly at night, when the electricity is cheaper, it can be very inexpensive, while prices at public stations are considerably higher, CE Report quotes BTA

Eldrive Bulgaria Executive Director Dimo Kolchev said the average cost of charging electricity per 100 km travelled is about BGN 15. "This is somewhat cheaper than petrol, but it should be noted that no one uses only the public charging network. Most people charge their vehicles at home or at work, where the costs are much lower. If you do it only at home at the nighttime price rate, the cost will be around BGN 2 for a run of 100 km," Kolchev explained.
