Hi how do you calculate? I've never calculate I live in Montréal so I presume the same rate or lower I don't know.

I haven't performed any exact measurements, but my best guess is $1.11 USD to charge the CE 04 from 0-100% where I live:
- BMW CE 04 usable battery size: 8.5kWh
+ 10% energy loss from AC to DC conversion (0.85kWh)
- Total input expected for a 0-100 charge: 9.35kWh
- Power cost: $0.12USD/kWh
- 9.35kWh * 0.12USD = $1.11USD
The amount of time spent charging shouldn't matter normally, though it can if the energy cost changes based on what time of day it is. I do, however, live somewhere with exceptionally cheap nuclear power. For comparison, where I live, it costs 3.4X as much to fill up the BMW C400GT with enough gas for the same distance (80mi WMTC, 1 gallon, $3.781USD).

We have a few electric chargers in our building, and I use my credit card, but I believe our fee is much lower than if you go out around the city and charge up at the public chargers. Fortunately, my range around our city, beaches and parks and across to some horse riding areas I never seem to use up too much of the charge. I seem to have over half a charged left by the time I get home.
Rizoma has some incredibly well-made beautiful mirrors for the CE 04 you can find them online at theirmain.com spot website. They carry them at some dealers throughout Canada and USA, but you have to order.
Even though I have the orange bike and the orange windscreen, I think mine might be a little crazy and order the yellow mirrors. They also make them in three other colors. They are about $300 US and about $450 in Canada .

Ok so I calculate here in Quebec we have two price so I took a average of both so it cost 75 cent per charges I charge slow 6 amp on 110 voltage so total with the lost let's says .90 cent per charge. but just for the regeneration braking I have already 61 Kw so roughly 850 km done for free.
Have a good week end

Looks like a good $ for most of us. I imagine you have the loud unpleasant in and out sound at 30klm .Have a look at the Rizoma Mirrors. I have orange trim but might get Yellow or Blue Mirrors to replace mine.
Could you please let me know what the price in Italy is .
Regards
Bruce. Canada
