Yes but I also factored 100% efficiency for charging. And it's not that much more expensive, everything engine related is free because of the service package I had with the car. With ev you still have to change breaks, and tires (which is the biggest maintenace cost) wear faster on ev because of the weight.
This is different for older used car, I give you that, but it does not cover the big price difference.
- Rygian 3y agoCharging is not 100%. It's around 90%. Brake pads wear out less in EVs because you get some of your energy back with engine braking. Around 22%. And saying tires are the biggest maintenance cost is hard to parse as it depends wildly on how long you plan to keep the car.

- kuon 3y agoI meant tires were the biggest cost in my example, I looked at my invoice. But anyway I don't want to argue either way, I have no love for ice any more than ev. But I wanted to buy an ev for a year and every time I do the math, I cannot afford it.
