New incentives for the 2024 car will start in Italy next May and many of you may want to buy a BEV. But what are the most effective models that can do that save up-ups?
We in the industry have been driving electric cars for several years and obviously know how to navigate the technical data sheets, the unexpected and the details to consider when buying. Since there are millions of Italian drivers who have never tried a BEV, in our opinion it is fair to clarify one aspect in particular: efficiency. If your main goal is to reduce operating costs, especially if you charge at home, understand how much energy does an electric car use to travel 100 km it is very basic. The danger, otherwise, is to take the wrong and completely useless car – and therefore give up.
So we selected the 2024 Ecobonus compatible electric cars and went to find their consumption, data that car manufacturers don’t always show up front… The consumption data is official on WLTP mixed cyclewe know that in the real world they can vary depending on your driving style and many other factors (a little, even the biggest rims can spoil the freedom), but it’s the only way we have to make an objective list.
For beginners it is also good to mention What is a kWh?. If gasoline is measured in liters, battery energy is measured in kWh. Generally cars have 30 to 100 kWh batteries, however it is possible that a 50 kWh model (for example) has the same range as one with 90 kWh. This is due to efficiency, i.e. how much energy a particular model needs to travel per kilometer (Wh/km), or more functionally 100 legal kilometers (kWh/100 km). If the consumption of your petrol car is measured in liters / 100 km, and of electric we have. kWh/100 km, so the lower the value, the higher the efficiency will be. So, let’s start with our list.

According to official manufacturer data, the only electric car that can consume less than 14 kWh/100 km currently appears to be Tesla Model 3 RWD, a car that Elon Musk also recently reduced by 2,000 euros. Worth noting, then, is the excellent performance of the new Peugeot e-208, recently updated to offer more freedom, in fact consumption stood at 14 kWh/100 km. Instead, you should focus on those cars that use fuel consumption of 17 and 19 kWh/100 km, as traveling 100 km may cost you more. Efficiency cannot be the only discriminating factor in the electoral phase, it is obvious, but it is still an important factor that many – often – ignore.
