rising costs for electricity and fuels

In the past few weeks, the discussion about the high fuel prices at the petrol stations has gained urgency. Many drivers feel the stress, which are particularly caused by the increasing prices for petrol and diesel. These are currently between 1.95 and 2.25 euros per liter of Super E-95. But there is also bad news in the area of ​​electromobility. According to Elektroauto-news.net , numerous electricity providers have already increased their tariffs several times, which drives up the costs for charging the electric vehicles. At the turn of the year 2023, the state subsidy of over 9,000 euros for electric cars will also expire, which makes the purchase of an electric car again expensive.

The price increases are not only noticeable for electric car drivers, but also for the combustion users. For example, the increased electricity prices on the charging stations cost up to 0.89 euros per kilowatt hour. Diesel drivers must also come to terms with prices of over 2.30 euros per liter. These developments raise the question of whether it is still worth driving an electric car in the current conditions. The increased costs could thwart many drivers. Anyone who is regularly dependent on public charging stations as a user of an electric car could soon pay off, while traditional internal experiences are relatively cheaper if the fuel prices are low.
