With the booming popularity of electric scooters, many people are left wondering, how much does cost and where do you charge electric scooters? Thankfully, charging an electric scooter is an easy and convenient process. In this guide, we’ll cover the different charging options available to you and we dissect the precise cost of charging your electric scooter in Switzerland.
To calculate the total cost of charging your electric bike, you need to find the capacity of your battery in Watt hours (Wh), convert Wh into kilowatt-hours (kWhs) and then multiply this by the unit price charged by your electricity provider.
The capacity of batteries is measured in Wh. If you don’t know the Wh of your battery (and if it’s not written anywhere), simply multiply its Voltage (V) by the Amp hours (Ah). Here’s the formula:
V x Ah = Wh
For example, a 36V 10.4Ah battery has a 374.4Wh capacity: 36V x 10.4Ah = 374.4Wh
Electricity providers typically use kWhs when billing customers – they refer to 1 kWh as 1 unit of electricity. Therefore, we need to convert your battery’s Wh (i.e. the capacity of your battery that you calculated in Step 1 above) into kWh. To do this, simply divide your Wh by 1,000. Here’s the formula:
Wh / 1000 = kWh
For example, our 374.4Wh battery converts to 0.3744kWh: 374.4Wh / 1000 = 0.3744kWh
So the final calculation that we need to do is multiply how much your electricity provider charges per kWh (i.e. per unit of electricity) by your battery’s kWh. Here’s the formula:
Your battery’s kWh x your cost per kWh = the cost to charge your e-Scooter battery
Electricity providers in the CH charge around 20 cents per kWh.
So taking this CHF 0.20 average, our 0.3744kWh battery (or 374.4Wh battery) would cost us CHF O.078 to fully charge:
0.3744kWh x CHF 0.20 = CHF 0.078 to fully charge
Switzerland boasts an average electricity rate of approximately 0.20 CHF per kWh. With a standard electric scooter battery capacity hovering around 2.5 kWh, a full charge would translate to an expenditure of around 0.50 CHF.
