I live in Cyprus (Europe) and are interested to get a Leaf. It is really hot here over the summers, and we usually leave for northern Europe for a few months.
The government does not subsidise EVs yet, but at least the Electric company EAC installed 15 charge stations around the island.
The charging stations are using Mode 3 charging, 21kW (3-Ph), with two-way communication between the vehicle and the charging station throughout the duration of the charging period. There are two (2) Type 2 sockets in each charging station in accordance with the international standards and recommendations of the European Commission and Eurelectric.
November 2016 there where 48! registered electric cars in Cyprus, 38 of which are new models out of 475,000 passenger cars (Eurostat, 2013).
Current price for electricity is 15,96 euro cent / kWh
I have seen a few Japan imported 2012 models, prices around EUR10k.
I looked at one last week, with 9 bars on capacity meter... Owner claimed battery was like new and 140 km was no problem to drive...
He also claimed recharge only cost one euro...
Why do sellers need to lie?
Anyhow, I now look into importing a 2016 30 kWh model from Japan. Import taxed are 0 on non-emission cars so only 19% VAT
should be added for registration here. Total cost should be around 15000 eur.
I drive my girl to school every day. That is a total of 60-70 km. Nicosia (capital) is 100 km one way. Ocasional I want to go cross island, 200 km.
Any suggestions?
