Difference in cost: another difference, is the cost, in the cost, charge at home does have the advantage, charging pile charging, generally are calculated by hour, 1RMB hour 3 hours is more common to 48V20AH electric car needs 6 hours charging, the approximate cost is 2RMB.

And 48V20AH only need 960wh power, less than one degree of electricity, according to 50 cents one degree of residential electricity calculation, full of less than 0.5RMB, just a quarter of the community charging pile, to charge 200 times a year calculation, charge at home can save 300RMB per year.
