Discover our ground-breaking e-bike battery charging cabinet and find out the cost per mile for e-biking.
Electric bikes continue to conquer city streets, and the need for reliable charging solutions is growing exponentially. To meet this demand, we proudly present our latest addition to the ECO Charge brand - a cutting-edge charging cabinet specifically designed for e-bike batteries.
A common question that arises in relation to e-bikes is the cost of electricity per mile. However, providing a simple and universal figure is a challenge. According to Karl Corneliusson, product owner at EWF Eco, it depends on the specific bike and charger used. But let's explore this topic further.
Charging the popular Crescent Elina battery, found in Sweden's best-selling electric bike, requires about 750 Wh of energy. With an electricity price of just over one krona per kWh, the cost of a full charge is about one krona. With an impressive range of up to 80 km, the cost per mile is only 13 öre.
Sustainable charging for the future of mobility
Karl elaborates by sharing EWF Eco's extensive experience in charging various lithium-ion batteries, including those used in computers, tablets and mobile phones. He highlights the following:
- There is a wide range of power and charging current for bicycle batteries on the market.
- Chargers are often marketed in terms of ampere hours (Ah), with common values being 2 A, 4 A or 6 A, but also up to 10 A in rare cases.
- It is important to note that this charging current applies to the DC part of the charger. The charger usually converts 230 V AC to 24 V or 36 V DC, although other voltages are also possible.
- In addition, losses in the charger should be considered, which usually result in heat generation. We estimate that the losses in a bicycle battery charger can amount to 33%.
With the ECO Charge e-bike battery charging cabinet, we aim to solve these issues and challenge conventional charging methods. Our innovative technology and sophisticated design enables not only safe and reliable charging but also a cost-effective solution for companies and organizations that want to support their employees in their transition to e-bikes.
Charging infrastructure for electric bikes can contribute to a cleaner future
ECO Charge-The charging cabinet offers not only a practical charging solution but also an opportunity for companies and organizations to demonstrate their commitment to sustainable mobility and environmental awareness. By investing in electric bike charging infrastructure, they can contribute to a cleaner future and promote sustainable transport options.
