E-cars: Yellow note soon shows petrol station customers what they would save

From October on

A yellow note soon shows petrol station customers what they would save with e-cars

Ministry of Economic Affairs They would have saved that much: this note should be posted at all petrol stations from October

Save money with the electric car? From October, an energy cost comparison at petrol stations should inform drivers about how much less they would pay in comparison with their current car. But what is the purpose of the comparison with the electric car, what can it – and what not?

For links on this page, Site receives. A commission from the dealer, Z.B. For marked. More information -trimming numbers on a yellow -orange notice should show drivers in the future what they could have saved. From October, larger petrol stations must present a so -called energy cost comparison to their customers. On it: the cost for 100 kilometers with seven different energy sources – from electricity to hydrogen to super gasoline – and for two vehicle sizes. Only for hydrogen in smaller vehicles is a value lack of data. Why is there the poster, what can it – and what not?

Energy cost comparison with electric cars at petrol stations: Why is there the poster?

It implements a European directive. Purpose is "to support future purchase decisions from consumers in choosing a personal vehicle", As it says in the legal text. The thought behind it: The consumer should simply be able to compare what the energy costs for 100 kilometers with different drive shapes.

Basically, this also makes sense at the ADAC to produce transparency and "also to influence the purchase decision a bit". The Federal Association of Energy and Water Management (BDEW) also welcomes the labeling: "The comparison makes it clear that electromobility is not only a climate -friendly, but also a financially attractive alternative for many drivers", it means from there.

What does the poster show?

The current poster – it is to be updated quarterly and can be downloaded from the Ministry of Economic Affairs – it can be seen, for example, that a medium or luxury car with super gasoline causes 11.42 euros fuel or energy costs per 100 kilometers. With Super E10, it would be 11.00 euros, with diesel 7.48, with a Stromer 4.84. Natural gas h hide with 6.39 euros, LPG with 4.96 and hydrogen with 7.60.

How do these comparison values come about with e-cars?

For each drive type in each of the two vehicle categories, the three best -selling vehicles and their official consumption are used according to the current driving cycle WLTP. So you get an average consumption per 100 kilometers. Together with the price for the respective energy source, there are costs per 100 kilometers. At the price, the ministry uses the average of the second quarter. However, these numbers are not specified on the poster.

How exactly are the information?

Even if the values are calculated and specified exactly on the cent, it can only be rough comparative values for several reasons. On the one hand, the consumer drives the poster when refueling probably reads another car with a different consumption. His driving style also makes a big difference here.In addition, the average prices of the second quarter are currently being used for the calculation according to the Federal Ministry of Economics. Since then, for example, diesel has become around 9 cents per liter more expensive, as it results from the ADAC numbers.And finally – as the name suggests – it is just a comparison of the energy costs. Other costs around the car such as purchases, repairs, insurance and tax are naturally left out – although they usually clearly exceed energy costs.

Special case e-cars

The calculation is particularly susceptible to distortions for electric cars that drive the cheapest according to comparison. "There is no information that the average budgetary price is based on electric cars", criticizes the mineral oil economic association MWV. "Public and, above all, fast charging is usually more expensive, and this significantly reduces the price difference to the petrol engine."According to the BDEW energy industry association, a typical budgetary current tariff is just over 30 cents per kilowatt hour. However, there are more 39 to 45 cents on public charging stations and even 49 to 79 cents on quick charging stations. This includes costs for infrastructure, operation, maintenance, land use and payment processing. But these prices would also have to be taken into account so that the information on the poster "can be reconciled with personal experiences", demands the BDEW.The Ministry of Economic Affairs justifies the use of the budgetary current tariff that more than 80 percent of the charging processes take place at home. In the medium term, however, the costs for charging should also be included in the calculation on the go.

Where does the poster have to hang?

Petrol stations with seven multiple petrol pumps and more have to hang it up or present it on a screen. According to the estimate of the ZTG petrol station association, however, this only affects around 1500 of the 14,500 petrol stations in Germany. That is "the only good thing" At the new regulation, says ZTG managing director Jurgen Ziegner, who "as superfluous as a goiter" holds. "It is of little use to me when I am on the road and has to refuel, and then find out how much I would have paid for the electricity at home", He criticizes.You might also be interested in:
