The government has announced that electricity costs will increase by 10% on August 1st. This increase particularly affects the charging of your electric vehicle.
This is news that drivers who own an electric car did not want to hear, especially during the summer holidays. The price of electricity will rise by 10% on August 1st. The fare shield used by the state does not fully counter the increase in electricity rates, hence this rise. In February, an average increase of 15% was implemented.
What will be the new amount per kWh?
This new increase in electricity prices will bring the rate to around 0.22 euros per kWh, compared to 0.206 euros today. The exact rate is not yet known, as the government has not yet announced any details. Regarding the rate per kWh at charging stations, no company has reported a potential price increase. A few weeks ago, various providers like Tesla had announced a decrease in rates at their chargers.
A second increase in less than a year
In February, the rate per kWh had also increased, going from 0.174 euros to 0.206 euros, representing an 18.46% rise. The tariff shield put in place until 2025 did not prevent the price of the kWh from rising to 0.174 euros.
