Calculate the Cost of Using an Electric Vehicle (EV)
This document provides a comprehensive guide on calculating the costs associated with using an electric vehicle (EV). By examining key factors such as electricity costs, distance per charge, and comparisons with gasoline vehicles, we aim to highlight the financial benefits of transitioning to EVs. Additionally, we will discuss the potential savings and considerations for prospective EV owners.



1. Electricity Cost per Full Charge
The cost of charging an EV is primarily determined by the battery size (in kWh) and the electricity rate per unit (in Baht/kWh).

This calculation depends on the battery size (kWh) and the electricity rate per unit (Baht/kWh).
  • Formula

    Cost per full charge = Battery size (kWh) × Electricity rate (Baht/kWh)

Example:
    • EV with a battery size of 50 kWh
    • Average electricity rate at home is 4 Baht/kWh

Cost for a full charge:
50×4=200 Baht


2. Distance per Full Charge



Most EVs can travel approximately 5-8 kilometers per 1 kWh, depending on the model and driving style.
Formula for Cost per Kilometer



3. Comparison with Gasoline Vehicles



Gasoline vehicles: Assume 12 kilometers per liter, with gasoline priced at 35 Baht/liter.

Cost per kilometer = Gasoline price (Baht/liter) / Distance per liter (km/liter)


4. Monthly Cost for Using an EV

Assuming a usage of 1,500 kilometers/month:
  • Electric Vehicles
    1,500×0.5=750 Baht/month

  • Gasoline Vehicles
    1,500×2.9=4,350 Baht/month

Summary:
Driving an EV saves approximately 3,600 Baht per month.

Additional Factors to Consider
  • Home Charger Installation Cost: Approximately 20,000 - 50,000 Baht (depending on the model and electrical system).
  • Maintenance Costs: EVs generally have lower maintenance costs than gasoline vehicles due to their simpler components.
  • Public Charging Stations: Costs may vary but are generally cheaper than gasoline expenses.



Automatic Cost Calculator (EV Calculator)
For a website, it’s recommended to add a tool allowing users to calculate their costs by entering:
  • Battery size (kWh)
  • Home electricity rate (Baht/kWh)
  • Monthly driving distance
The results will clearly showcase the cost-effectiveness of EVs, making it easier for potential buyers to understand their savings.
