The Cost of Charging Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular as a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuel-powered vehicles. However, one of the key questions often asked is: how much does it cost to charge an electric vehicle? While most people consider the costs associated with home or public charging stations, there’s an innovative solution that can significantly reduce or even eliminate these costs: SoltiQ – an autonomous mobile solar charging station for electric vehicles. The benefits of the SoltiQ solar charging station are numerous, but let’s start from the beginning.

Free Charging Thanks to Solar Power

SoltiQ harnesses the power of the sun to charge batteries, meaning the energy it uses is completely free and renewable. Solar energy is not only environmentally friendly but also financially advantageous. Compared to conventional charging stations that use electricity from the grid, SoltiQ allows users to save a significant amount of money in the long term. According to research, the average cost of charging an electric vehicle at home is around €0.12 per kWh, which means that charging a 60 kWh battery would cost about €7.20. When compared to SoltiQ, where the energy is free, the savings over the course of a year become clear.

Compact Size and Easy Installation

SoltiQ is designed to be as compact and functional as possible. With its dimensions – 2.5 meters in height, 2.3 meters in width, and 4.5 meters in length – SoltiQ occupies the space equivalent to a single parking spot. Weighing 1,100 kilograms, it is light enough for easy transport and installation. One of SoltiQ’s key features is its autonomy. As a mobile charging station, SoltiQ can be relocated as needed, making it ideal for various locations – from shopping mall parking lots to public parking areas or private properties.

High Efficiency and Capacity

SoltiQ is equipped with advanced solar panels that allow for a maximum solar charging capacity of 2,200 W. This means that even on cloudy days, SoltiQ can generate enough energy to charge electric vehicles. The maximum charging power of the SoltiQ charger is 10 kW, enabling fast and efficient vehicle charging. With a battery capacity of 57.6 kWh, SoltiQ can store enough energy to charge multiple vehicles throughout the day. For example, an electric car with an average 60 kWh battery can be fully charged within a few hours, depending on sunlight conditions.

When it comes to charging electric vehicles, SoltiQ offers a new range of practical advantages thanks to its autonomy and mobility.

Charging in Urban Areas

In urban areas where parking space is often limited, SoltiQ is the perfect solution. A prime example of SoltiQ's potential use is installation in shopping center parking lots in urban areas, allowing customers to charge their vehicles for free while shopping. This initiative not only encourages the use of electric vehicles but also attracts environmentally conscious customers.

Rural Communities and Remote Areas

In rural communities and remote areas where access to the power grid may be limited, SoltiQ represents crucial infrastructure. A single charging station in a rural area can meet the local needs for charging electric scooters and bicycles, which are most commonly used for local transportation. Thanks to SoltiQ, not only are fuel costs reduced, but the carbon footprint is also significantly decreased.

SoltiQ as Support for Outdoor Events

SoltiQ is also ideal for supporting various outdoor events. At the increasingly popular eco-festivals, SoltiQ is the perfect solution for charging participants’ electric vehicles. In addition to providing free vehicle charging, this application of SoltiQ simultaneously encourages more people to participate in the event and promotes the spread of environmental awareness.

So, when you consider the cost of charging electric vehicles, remember that SoltiQ is the most cost-effective long-term solution!
