FAQ
How much does a full charge cost in Finland?
Roughly €11–€23 for the electric models we price in Finland (battery size × the local home rate, charging loss included) — most drivers top up daily rather than charging 0→100%.
Is charging an EV cheaper than petrol in Finland?
Per 100 km, home charging costs about €2.30–€3.63 versus about €15.06 of petrol for a typical 7 L/100 km car — at the dated local rates shown above. Whether the EV wins the FULL 5-year cost (purchase, depreciation, insurance) is a different question; each model page shows the honest total.

About €37/month for a typical 15 000 km/year driver at the local average — proportionally more for heavier driving or pricier tariffs.

No — these figures are home charging only. Public and DC fast charging is billed per session by each network, often 2–3× the home rate, and is not in this data.
