'EVs are £700 a year cheaper to keep on the road than petrol cars', green think tank says

Daily Mail  

Owning an electric vehicle instead of a petrol car could save drivers around £10,000 over a decade and a half, according to a green think tank. Switching to electric could save owners up to £700 a year compared to driving a petrol car, a green think tank has estimated: Pictured, an electric Hyundai Ioniq5 While the upfront cost of new electric cars is one of the top reasons drivers are hesitant to make the switch from petrol, the green group says that once running costs are accounted for changing, an EV can be a financially smart option for many drivers. The price of fuel is the largest additional cost of running a petrol car, but vehicle excise duty and servicing also drive up day-to-day ownership fees compared to an EV, it claimed. Consumers should consider lifetime running costs when choosing between an electric and petrol car, RAC says The new e-C3 will start from around £22,500 making it an affordable family-friendly SUV When will electric car prices fall?
