“Some are at 0.7€/KwH, which is more expensive than using a gasoline car, despite high fuel prices.”

Can you show your working please?

I paid 50c/kwh at a public charger the other week but it was still cheaper than benzine here (NL) at 2+ eur/l

Seems to make sense to me.

Mercedes-Benz E200 4MATIC (not a plug-in hybrid) has a quoted combined fuel effiency of 7.5 l/100km. To get 100 km of range, you'd need to fill up 7.5 litres of petrol at around 1.73 €/l (https://bensinpriser.nu/stationer/95/stockholms-lan/), costing 12.98 €.

Tesla Model S 90D has a quoted energy efficiency of 18.9 kWh/100 km (https://www.tesla.com/en_EU/support/european-union-energy-la...). If you pay 0.7 €/kWh, you need to put in at least 13.23 € worth of electricity, assuming a charging loss of 0%. If you increase that charging loss to 20%, you'd be putting in 23.6 kWh with a price of 16.52 €.

South Sweden, daytime, at 0.6€/KwH, gasoline is cheaper per 10km.

Benzine is 1.7-2€/liter.
