That appears to be not that fuel efficient, though, right? For instance, a 2020 Honda Fit will do 36MPG [0], meanwhile a 2003 Saab would do around 20MPG [1]. Depending on where you live and the usage of your car, I can imagine electric cars being much cheaper overall, even though the starting price can be much higher. I should note I live in a Third World country where electric cars basically don't exist yet, so I'm not aware of the day-to-day realities of using electric cars.

- jnsaff2 4y agoSaab is weird, it has really bad fuel economy in the city ~12L/100km but on the highway it's alright, around 7L/100km which is not great but not far off from modern cars. My wife has to travel about 360km round trip between cities, which with the current fuel prices is at least 50EUR. Same trip with the Tesla costs usually around 3 EUR when charging at home during the cheap hours at night and has never cost more than ~15EUR even during the crazy electricity prices and/or fast charging.
