The cost of driving an EV versus a petrol car

"It's tears at the pump and smiles at the charging station." — Olof van der Gaag (chairman NVDE) 😄 And the numbers prove him right.

Let's compare the costs of driving 100 km in a petrol car versus an EV, powered by a BlueSky charger.

100 km in a petrol car: Assumed average consumption: 1 in 16 (≈ 6.25L/100km) Assumed price: €2.23/litre (Source: cheapest petrol station in North Holland today, ANWB 08-04-2026) Cost: €13.94

100 km with an EV + BlueSky charger + dynamic energy contract: Average consumption: 16 kWh/100 km Average electricity price of our users in April: €0.17/kWh Cost: €2.72

That's a difference of more than a factor of 5.

And that's not even considering that more than 90% of our users have solar panels and charge their car partly at €0.00/kWh. In practice, the difference is even greater.

But it's not just about money.

Petrol is expensive, polluting, and dependent on regions and politicians we don't want to rely on. Every litre you don't fill up is a step towards energy that is clean, local, and resilient.

With the BlueSky charger, you automatically charge at the cheapest moments of the day: at home, smart, and hassle-free.

Cheaper. Cleaner. Less vulnerable.
