- rootusrootus 4y agoWe're headed for that everywhere, I think. I'm currently deciding between a MachE and a RAV4 Prime. The price premium for the Ford is so acute that there is no way it'll ever be cheaper TCO than the Toyota. PHEVs are looking very attractive right now.
- ZeroGravitas 4y agoReally? In the UK it's still better to run an EV, and I thought they were the hardest hit at the moment? Here's a recently updated article that suggests it's still a good deal: https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/electriccars/article-11148861/Is-cheaper-run-electric-car-petrol-energy-prices-rising.html https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/electriccars/article-111...

- aembleton 4y ago7.5p/KWh between 00:30 and 04:30 on Octopus Go [1]. Kia Niro EV has an efficiency of 276Wh/mile [2]. That's 2.72p/mile. Latest petrol price averages £1.6933/litre [3]. That makes an ICE car cheaper only if it can acheive 280mpg. ( (169.33/2.72) * 4.5 ). My Prius averages 55mpg. That makes my Prius 5 times as expensive to run as an EV right now. 1. https://octopus.energy/go/ https://octopus.energy/go/ 2. https://ev-database.uk/car/1666/Kia-Niro-EV https://ev-database.uk/car/1666/Kia-Niro-EV 3. https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/advice/fuel-watch/ https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/advice/fuel-watch/
