Reader opinion Should an overtime be taken when purchasing an electric car?

Opinion|Reader’s opinion

I got it contact my familiar electricity company. As a good customer, I was offered the opportunity to get a low-cost extension contract to extend the term of my current household electricity contract. That sounded good until it turned out that the price increase per kilowatt hour would be close to 70 percent. This was justified by the projected significant increase in the market price of electricity.

Is it expected that the energy bill for electric cars will rise in the same proportion? While low-cost operating costs have been one of the most widely used arguments for electric cars, will cost calculations throw bullshit in 2022? Should I also take overtime in a possible purchase?
