What is that, like the equivalent of 2 euros on the electric bill?
No, I would say 1kWh being 30-50p and the car battery, say, 50-100kWh, maths would end up being between 0.3*50=15 and 0.5*100=50. Not insurmountable, but definitely not nothing.
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.
7.5p/kwh overnight with an EV tariff on octopus. Even non-EV tariff night rates are like 17p/kwh.
And it’s very unlikely that this home owner is on that tariff
googles for numbers

Recharging a Tesla 3 at home comes to just under £30 by my calculations
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
I'm looking at my Tesla app right now in the charging section and I average about 15 dollars a month of electricity, at 14c a kw/h.
So somewhere around 0.50 cents a day in added cost. This landlord is just being fussy and fearful of the "new".
Like people back in the day thinking light switches could shock you dead for flipping them.
*I looked it up for the area specifically and their electricity is up to 40 cents equivalent dollars a kilowatt hour, so it could be up to 3.50 or so bucks a day if it's charging non stop. Electricity is expensive over there and I stand corrected.
This is a UK sub, and unfortunately our electricity is not that cheap at the moment. A current quote from Octopus energy:
Tariff cost breakdown ⚡ ElectricityDaily standing charge 47.95p /day Unit rate 30.3p /kWh
Holy shit.
Yeah, I don't understand why conservatives are against energy independence.

Meh, charge more then. Electricity utilization is typically included with vacation rentals.
