Home vs public charging in Sweden — the 5 cheapest EVs to charge
Public and DC fast charging in Sweden is billed per session by each network and varies widely, so we model it the way the kernel does on every cost page: 2.5× the home rate — about 5,50 kr/kWh against 2,20 kr/kWh at home. That is a planning estimate, not any network's tariff. Here is what it does to the 5 cheapest-to-charge models we price in Sweden:
| Electric model | Per 100 km at home | Public (≈2.5× home) | Extra per year if all-public |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tesla Model 3 RWD | 32,50 kr | 81,25 kr | +6 060 kr |
| Tesla Model Y RWD | 33,75 kr | 84,38 kr | +6 293 kr |
| Toyota bZ4X Active 57.7 kWh FWD | 34,75 kr | 86,88 kr | +6 479 kr |
| Hyundai Ioniq 6 Essential | 36,25 kr | 90,63 kr | +6 759 kr |
| Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor | 38,25 kr | 95,63 kr | +7 132 kr |
- Tesla Model 3 RWD is the cheapest EV to charge in Sweden — 32,50 kr per 100 km at home — and at the public estimate (81,25 kr) it still beats the 117,95 kr of petrol a 7 L/100 km car burns over the same distance.
- A Tesla Model Y RWD draws 13.5 kWh per 100 km, so home charging runs 33,75 kr; at the public estimate (84,38 kr) it still beats the 117,95 kr of petrol a 7 L/100 km car burns over the same distance.
- For the Toyota bZ4X Active 57.7 kWh FWD, public-only charging would add about 6 479 kr a year at 12 430 km/year over charging at home (34,75 kr vs 86,88 kr per 100 km); even then it stays under the 117,95 kr a 7 L/100 km petrol car needs.
- A Hyundai Ioniq 6 Essential draws 14.5 kWh per 100 km, so home charging runs 36,25 kr; at the public estimate (90,63 kr) it still beats the 117,95 kr of petrol a 7 L/100 km car burns over the same distance.
- For the Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor, public-only charging would add about 7 132 kr a year at 12 430 km/year over charging at home (38,25 kr vs 95,63 kr per 100 km); even then it stays under the 117,95 kr a 7 L/100 km petrol car needs.
Even at the 2.5× public estimate, all 5 of these models still undercut the 117,95 kr of petrol a typical 7 L/100 km car burns per 100 km — in Sweden the charging case survives without a driveway. Our 5-year totals on each model page assume 80% home / 20% public charging at this same multiple — these two columns are the ends of that range.
