Although electric cars are very important in many ways, the most important reason behind the popularity of these vehicles was the thought that they would reduce fuel costs. Indeed, this new technology, which has been providing car owners with a significant price advantage for several years, has become more expensive than gasoline as electricity prices have skyrocketed in Europe.
The average electricity consumption is around 15kWh per 100km for an electric car, while for a normal gasoline vehicle this is equivalent to around 6 liters. When a calculation is made on these values, the cost of electricity increased to 12.60 euros after the last hikes, while the cost of gasoline remained around 12.10 euros.
This too happened! Caught stealing electricity for his electric car!
In other words, although there is no obvious difference, it is obvious that electric cars have no advantage at least in terms of fuel costs.
It is not known whether it is due to this situation, a Dutch person was caught stealing electricity from a lamppost. Moreover, the fact that the person who did this was driving a very good car like the Tesla Model 3 increased the question marks in the minds. The Dutch police, which immediately started an investigation on this incident, tried to take the necessary measures to prevent similar incidents, while the caught Tesla owner is on the agenda to be sentenced to up to four years in prison and a fine of $100,000.
