How many times cheaper is it to use an electric scooter instead of a car?
Taking Canada as an example:
Since 2020, the price of gasoline in Canada has increased by 55%, which is $0.655 per liter.
It costs Canadians about $0.68/km to use their car.
For a Canadian living in a big city like Montreal, for instance, it's not uncommon to wait 20 minutes for parking. This doesn't even take into account traffic and pollution.
So, if you use your electric scooter for only 1 hour/30km per week throughout the year (excluding winter), you save $621, at the very least 608 minutes (not counting traffic time), and you significantly reduce your ecological footprint.
After purchasing your scooter, moving around costs you nothing. If you use your car for only 2 hours per week (in Canada), by the end of the year, it will cost you $1,242. The average price of an adult electric scooter in Canada is $750. In the medium to long term, you definitely save money and a lot of time.
