Not sure what the average price of petrol is where you are though.
[Edit[ https://myelectriccar.com.au/calculator/ https://myelectriccar.com.au/calculator/ confirms this at least for a Nissan Leaf running in Australia.
- outoftheabyss 6y agoI worked out that based on energy prices and my 12,000 miles per year, I would save about £500-700 per year in fuel in an average EV. Important to remember the 14k difference is based on entry level range and there’s still the issues that charging presents
- arethuza 6y agoI wondered about that - using this site: https://www.goultralow.com/journey-cost-savings-calculator/ https://www.goultralow.com/journey-cost-savings-calculator/ I reckon we'd save less than £1000 a year changing my wifes Karoq for an electric Enyaq. Possibly more as I suspect she could charge at work. So not really worth it purely financially.
- dagw 6y agoSurely the fuel cost savings would wipe out the price difference within a couple of years? Only if you drive a lot. Based on my driving patterns I calculated it would take me a good 10-12 years to make up the difference. Which is a shame because in every other way an electric car would fit my usage pattern perfectly.
