There is always a kernel of truth to them, but the reality is always far different. The Victoria Electric Vehicle V Association will walk you through these perennial myths as well as walk you through the “myth of the day,” so you can stay on top of the reality.Have you ever heard of this one? “Electric vehicles are way too expensive to charge and will make your home power bill explode!”
More than 90 per cent of EV owners charge their car at home, overnight, and pay the B.C. Hydro rate and the average EV consumes 15 kwh for every 100 kilometres of travel. In other words, your EV will take you 100 kilometres for the price your neighbour pays to go one-tenth that distance.
