Why dose it cost so much to buy energy from New Zealand? Just wondering because it costs $2.50 for 216 ce but for USA it is $2.00 for more than 600CE!!!
Catch my drift people. ;)

Are you kidding or are you

Are you kidding or are you serious? Do you really need someone to explain how currency works IRL?

It's called the exchange rate.

Ask your parents.

US CE prices: 750 =

US CE prices:
750 = $2.45
1,600 = $4.95
3,500 = $9.95
7,500 = $19.95
20,000 = $49.95

Rough conversion is $1 USD = $1.32 NZD (in other words New Zealand's is worth less), or $1 NZD =$0.76 USD.

So approximately $3.22 NZD is the equivalent of $2.45 USD. Mind you that currency values fluctuate so I only guarantee these numbers are accurate at the time of this post. In comparison $2 NZD is $1.51 USD.

The bigger the amount you buy, the better your $ to CE rate is. 7,500 costs $19.95, the equivalent in 750 lots would cost you $24.50.

@#1 and #2 have you actually

@#1 and #2

have you actually done the conversions? or are you just randomly posting

as of right now 1 USD == 1.3 NZD

so.. $2.50USD for the 750 CE
is about 580CE ish for $2.50 NZD

so either the OP is doing the maths wrong, or there's something else fishy going on.

My bad. I didn't calculate. I just assumed.

Also if you are talking about the pay by phone option, there are a lot of taxes and companies there that drive the prices to ridiculous levels.
I think one dollar gave me like 46 ce where I live.
