How Much Does It Cost To Charge An Electric Bike
Many people buy electric bikes to commute in order to save transportation expenses. So how much electricity does the electric bike cost for each charge?c
Taking the GYROOR C3 electric bike as an example, the battery voltage is 36V and the current ampere hour is 10 Ah, then the battery capacity is 36Vx10Ah=360Wh.
To change it to the common unit of electricity KWh, it needs to be divided by 1000, that is, 360Wh/1000=0.36KWh.
Cost per charge = battery capacity x electricity price
Assuming that the local electricity price is 5 cents, then the cost of fully charging GYROOR C3 each time is 0.36KWhx$0.05/KWh=$0.018
Even if you run out of power every day and fill it up, then your one-year charging fee is 365*$0.018=$6.57
Note: The price of electricity in each country and region is different, please calculate according to the actual local price.
