    Are you saying it is something between £15 and £50?

    At £50 l, that’s more than my wife’s car is to fill up, and would let it run for 400 miles or so. Are those numbers accurate because that’s wild that electricity costs as much as petrol.

        Electricity at home hasn’t been 7p/kwh for decades. 30p is a low estimate.

        Dang electricity must be expensive AF over there. Where I’m at in the US I pay $0.04/kWh (super off peak) and can fill up 0-100% (75kw) like 3 times for only $11 (£8.61)

          It is very expensive here at the moment. Wholesale electricity prices went though the roof last winter, largely due to Western Europe’s erliance on Russian gas
