When comparing EVs and petrol cars on long road trips in South Africa, convenience might be more important than cost.
However, on those occasions, the inland prices for a litre of unleaded 95 petrol were R19.61 and a record-high R26.74, respectively.
This time we could compare the costs of running two cars that were practically identical apart from one running on petrol and the other on electricity. In addition, the outdoor temperature and use of air conditioning can also significantly impact the overall range., the BMW iX3 can only get about 275km of range in ambient temperatures of 25°C with the air conditioning turned on.With the rough distance from Johannesburg to Cape Town being 1,400km, you would consume just about 377kWh of electricity in the BMW iX3.However, you could reduce that cost slightly by charging up the first 275km of range at home using an AC charger.
Based on the inland R23.46 per-litre price of unleaded 95 at the time of writing, that amount of petrol would cost R2,201.
