This according to Budget Direct web site; https://www.budgetdirect.com.au/car-insurance/guides/car-buying/how-much-does-it-cost-to-run-an-electric-car.html Power/fuelThe bigger savings come from the fact that the cost of an electric charge is almost always cheaper than refuelling a similar car with petrol. The Kona Electric’s 64kWh battery can be fully recharged for about $12.80 if you pay $0.20 per kWh of electricity overnight. That much charge will deliver about 450km range in the real world. However, the equivalent Kona N-Line petrol-powered SUV uses about 8L/100km of fuel. Its 50-litre tank costs $65 to fill up at $1.30/litre, delivering a 625km range. Calculate the figures and it means that for every 100km of running, the Kona Electric costs $2.84 in electricity, whereas the Kona N-Line costs $10.40 in fuel.If you drive 15,000 kilometres per year, which is normal for an Australian driver, the Kona N-Line will cost $1,560 in petrol, while the Kona Electric will cost $426 in electricity, saving you about $1,100 per year in fuel costs.
