Vietnam among world’s top 10 cheapest countries for EV charging
VOV.VN - Vietnam has been named among the top 10 cheapest countries to charge an electric vehicle (EV), according to the latest study conducted by Australia-based aggregator-Compare the Market.
This research was based on the cost of charging the latest-gen Hyundai Kona EV in 50 countries across the world, ranking them based on the cost of electricity used per 100km of driving. It also calculated how much one can save in fuel costs by driving an EV instead of an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle.
The study ranked Vietnam fifth in the list. It revealed that Vietnamese EV owners spend only AUD1.55, roughly US$1, for every 100 kilometres on an EV charge.
Argentina topped the list as the most affordable country for EV charging, where it costs at US$0.70 to fully charge an EV, followed by Malaysia at US$0.97 and India at US$1.42.
Denmark and Italy were identified as the nations with the highest EV charging costs, where a full charge for the same vehicle model stands at US$11.26.
