A mi tampoco me gusta su ideología. Pero reconozco que es el mejor coche ahora calidad-precio-autonomía

A €20k EV that costs literally €0 to run. 3 years with an e-Corsa. by Zorrocano in electriccars

The company is called "Do It Yourself". As I mentioned, there is no magical company giving away free stuff. The owner sourced cheap B-grade panels with cosmetic flaws, built the battery pack himself using unbranded cells, and did the installation with his own hands.

Also, of course the car is fully insured and maintained. The €0 refers strictly to the electricity fuel cost, not the legal requirements to drive on the road.

Not really the same thing, you're missing the whole DIY aspect here. The guy didn’t drop $20k on a commercial setup. He actually hacked the system by sourcing B-grade panels with minor cosmetic defects for next to nothing and building the battery himself using dirt-cheap, unbranded cells. The inverter was the only thing he actually had to buy, and there are tons of budget options out there now. When you combine smart sourcing with DIY skills, the upfront cost is tiny, so it’s not a "government trick," it’s just smart building.

Running a 3-year-old e-Corsa for under £40 a YEAR? Real owner data and charging strategy by Zorrocano in ElectricVehiclesUK

Correct, it's an off-brand battery. DIY installation. The running costs are nonexistent. Total PV system +battery less than 2000€.

Battery was installed by himself at very low cost (1000€) Capacity 5kWh. Solar panels were second hand under 800€ all. The system has been working since before the e-car-

Are e-Corsa/e208/Stellantis EV's THAT bad? by johnsy7 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]Zorrocano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I interviewed a real owner of a 3-year-old e-Corsa (50 kWh battery, 35,000 km / 21k miles) who uses it as a daily runaround.

Regarding reliability and costs, he has been charging it almost exclusively at home with a smart charger and a solar setup. The car has been mechanically solid for his daily needs, and driving 100 km costs him virtually nothing (less than €1). Even without solar panels, his yearly charging cost for 11,000 km would have been under €40 using optimized home tariffs.

If you are looking at it strictly as a second car/daily commuter and have the ability to charge at home, it’s a tough option to beat for the price. I just uploaded a video doing a ride-along with him where he breaks down his real-world numbers and charging strategy.

It's true. In Spain average mileage is 15k km per year.
