If we already have one, or are thinking about buying it, we should take into account some tips that will help maximize the economic savings and relieve the drivers’ wallets
One in ten cars sold in Spain in 2022 will be electric, increasing sales by 100% in the first six months of the year compared to 2021. With this trend, if we already have one or think about it it, from Cleverea have collected some tips that will help
maximize economic savings and take care of your wallet of electric car drivers:
–
Analyze the electricity tariff we have at home: Unfortunately, not all users have the option to charge their car at home. If we are one of those who have that alternative, we can take advantage of the subsidies to do this installation and thus better control the cost of each top-up. For users who are in the regulated electricity market, who are more prone to sudden price changes, the best advice is to know the cheapest times and take advantage of them.
–
plan the route: If we are aware of the kilometers we cover daily or weekly, we know when is the best time to recharge. In this way we take better advantage of the cheap light hours or the cheapest charging points.
–
Know how to take advantage of public charging: Currently there are about 15,000 public charging points in Spain, a figure that is still insufficient to meet user demand. In addition, some of them have a rather high price, so it is not worth resorting to them all the time. However, there are very cheap or free ones (for example, in some shopping centers, hypermarkets, hotels or even workplaces). Doing a little research and taking advantage of these points can yield significant savings.
–
Take autonomy into account: Autonomy is one of the basic requirements that must be taken into account when choosing one model or another. More miles of movement without charging gives us more freedom. If we have more autonomy, we can continue our journey to a cheaper charging point; or we will be able to rush the battery more until the light is cheaper according to our rate.
