    I just checked the portal for electricity offers here, it’s something I do every year to compare with what I have. I selected 2800kWh as annual consumption with a contract power of 4.5kW The starting price of the best offer today is 900€/y

      That’s insane, I have no idea what contract power of 4,5 kW is, but 2800/900 is 3.11 Euro per kWh.
      That’s absolutely insane! Here a kWh cost 0,49 Euro at a 400 KWh charging station!
      Just driving in to charge without any subscription.
      But you must have made some sort of mistake, there is no way a kWh can cost that much.

      Also it sounds like it’s electricity for your house and not for charging cars, since you write you check every year and you don’t have an electric car?

      The example I gave is only for charging cars. So many choose it for convenience, but don’t drive nearly as much.
      But when you drive a lot, it’s an insanely good deal.

        Yeah that’s a house contract

        4.5kW is the max drawing power, after that it jumps and cuts it.

        In Italy the only way to charge for cheap is using solar from your house

        I checked out of curiosity and the best contract if you consume a lot is 0.38€/kWh for the first 320kWH (and then you get a shitty deal)

        Average goes for 0.60€/kWh but the included quantity gets lower.

        Normally it goes for 0.7-0.8 for consumption (not flat contracts)

        Often those are not very fast charging, and if you let your car connected for more than 1h or 2h (depends) you get overcharged per minute of occupancy
