This research was based on the cost of charging the latest-gen Hyundai Kona EV in 50 countries across the world, ranking them based on the cost of electricity used per 100km of driving. It also calculated how much one can save in fuel costs by driving an EV instead of an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle.
The study ranked Vietnam fifth in the list. It revealed that Vietnamese EV owners spend only 1.55 AUD, roughly 1 USD, for every 100 kilometers on an EV charge.
Argentina topped the list as the most affordable country for EV charging, where it costs at 0.70 USD to fully charge an EV, followed by Malaysia at 0.97 USD and India at 1.42 USD.
Denmark and Italy were identified as the nations with the highest EV charging costs, where a full charge for the same vehicle model stands at 11.26 USD.
