Charging at home
Charging at home from 20 to 80%
On the residential tariff, the time makes no difference: the same price at any hour. With an EV meter, charge in its off-peak hours (0h00 to 6h00, also noon to 4pm and all day on Sunday).
| Residential tariff €0.1450/kWh, typical band for a home with an electric car | 7.56 € |
| EV meter, off-peak €0.1298/kWh, 0h00 to 6h00, noon to 4pm and Sundays | 6.77 € |
| EV meter, other hours €0.1450/kWh: added to the home’s consumption | 7.56 € |
| Residential tariff €0.1450/kWh (Enemalta’s only residential tariff) | 7.56 € |
With 10,000 km a year, always charging at home costs about €286 on the residential tariff and €256 with an EV meter: you save 30 € a year. The EV meter has its own monthly charge (€4 single-phase, €6 three-phase), and it also stops the car pushing the whole home into a dearer band.
