Is eBBQ expensive? Electricity consumption and costs of electric barbecuing

Grilling on the SEVO offers a number of advantages: Not only is it easy and safe, but it's also really quick thanks to its 3,000 watts of power and 3-zone heating technology. The SEVO heats up from 0 to 500 °C in just 10 minutes, so you can start grilling straight away.

If you’re now thinking that the barbecue will certainly consume a lot of electricity and that barbecuing will therefore be particularly expensive, you’re wrong. We have calculated the average costs for different types of food and different operating times for you:

For example, grilling a sausage in normal mode at 340 °C for 15 minutes will cost you just €0.34.

For a steak seared for 4 minutes on the Boost Zone at 500 °C, you pay an average of €0.20 for electricity.

Pulled pork lasts the longest on the grill at 9 hours. However, as you operate the grill for this time with the indirect zone and only 120 °C, the costs amount to just €0.80.

*underlying electricity price of € 0.32 per KWh

This means that SEVO barbecues not only please the taste buds, but also the wallet and provide an efficient experience for the whole family.
