28 May 2025
The cost of charging an electric car at home varies dramatically across Europe, with drivers in some countries paying nearly six times more than those in others.

Where exactly are these data coming from? Home charging/ electricity prices are not 39ct€/kWh in Germany. Switcher is using data from BDEW, which includes base fees meaning per kWh costs are significantly lower probably around 22-30ct€/kWh.

More detail on the situation in Türkiye:

Electricity is cheaper than Europe, because it's heavily subsidized by taxes.

In a recent decision, the government decided that only the first 5000kwh in one year should be subsidized.

In practical terms, people that use up to double the national average consumption will benefit from the subsidies. People charging their cars at home will go over the limit and they will be charged full price.

PG&E is among the worst of the worst,- who is overseeing PG&E?

FYI, there are UK special EV tariffs for 6.8/7p/Kwh.

This is incorrect. In TR it will be over €3. Once electricity consumption goes over a certain very low threshold, electricity becomes much more expensive.
