The dear energy also affects the tariffs for electric recharging. Vehicle owners of electric cars soon they will have to deal with the increases due to increases in natural gas prices and, therefore, of the electricity produced with it. The first manager to raise prices is Duferco Energiawhich communicated to its customers the change in the tariff for the use of Quick and Fast columns with power up to 50 kW. The increase was significant, just think that it has gone from 25 euros plus VAT to 129 euros plus VAT, to reload 200 kWh per month compared to the previous 300 kWh.
The feeling is that the increases will also involve the other managersand after Duferco also Enel X has adjusted its top-up rate upwards.
Electricity cost increase, Duferco electric car charging prices increase
The energy crisis and the increases in the bill, in addition to household utilities, also affect electric mobility, with heavy increases for the recharging of electric cars in public columns.
Duferco Energia has communicated to its customers the change in the flat rates for the use of the columns Quick and Fast with power up to 50 kW, which now costs 129 euros per month plus VAT, compared to the 25 euros previously agreed. On the one hand the tariff has increased and on the other hand the monthly energy supply has decreased, which has passed from 300 to 200 kWh.
Under these conditions, charging costs approx 0.80 euros per kWh, approaching what was previously paid for fast charging in Hpc infrastructures. Until today, before the increase, with Duferco people paid 0.25 euros for home top-ups and about 0.45 euros for those in the public columns.
Aware of the sudden increase, Duferco has given users the opportunity to withdraw from the contract at any time.
Price increase for electric car charging Enel X
Also Enel X has adjusted its electric charging rates upwards, starting from March 7, 2022. The contracts of flat subscriptions for the moment have not undergone increases.
The new Enel X tariffs are as follows:
- alternating current with power up to 22 kW: 0.58 euro / kWh
- direct current up to 100 kW: € 0.68 / kWh
- direct current with power up to 150 kW: 0.75 euros / kWh
- direct current with powers exceeding 150 kW: 0.79 euro / kWh
Why the rise in electricity bills? The causes
The increases in electricity bills they are mainly caused by growth in international prices of energy raw materials and the price of CO2, but also from the great demand for natural gas, which has caused the price of imported gas, especially from Russia.
The cost of natural gas between January and December 2021 has gone from 21 euros / MWh to 120 euros / MWh. In December, gas even reached the price of 180 euros / MWh. On the other hand, as regards the costs of CO2 emission quotas, in 2021 they went from 33 to 79 euros per ton.
This is not the only element that has affected the bills, in fact also the CO2 emission quotas they have reached very high costs; in 2021 these contributions went from a cost of 33 euros per ton to 79 euros per ton.
With the increase in gas and emission compensation quotas, the price of energy in Italy has risen by 400% in one year, that is from 61 euros / MWh to 288 euros. The increase in methane gas thus affects the electricity bill by over 40% and leads to increases of around 55%.
Increased bills and the Russia-Ukraine crisis
The gas issue also weighs like a boulder crisis between Ukraine and Russia. The winds of war also affect the pockets of Europeans. Russia in fact supplies one third of the entire requirement of natural gas (450 billion cubic meters, of which 75 for Italy) to Europe every year.
The importance and consequently the demand for gas increased even after Germany’s announcement to decommission its nuclear power plants. The renewables currently they cannot guarantee the production of energy normally produced by nuclear power plants, which is why Germany has a strong need for gas to produce energy.
We remind you that home recharging is the one that ensures the electric car is full at the lowest cost.
