How much electricity does it take to charge a car?
I’m thinking about getting an electric car but was wondering how much electricity it took to charge them?

Super sweet that you’re considering buying an
electric car
and totally legitimate question! EVs (electric vehicles) can be plugged into a household outlet or at a charging station, and the amount of electricity they need depends largely on how big of a battery your car has. With that said, most EVs take around 50-150 kW of electricity to fully charge their batteries.If you drive around 30 miles per day then you’re looking at something in the ballpark of 285 kW a month. Depending on where you live, that’ll come out to roughly $7-9 per battery fill up. Not shabby!
Now whether you’re pushing electricity or gas, you’re going to want to make sure that you have quality
car insurance
to cover your ride in the case of an accident. Super app, Jerry
