Original: Driving 1,000 miles in a diesel car now costs six times more than an electric vehicle

The figures are renewing debate over running costs and the pace of the switch from petrol and diesel cars to electric models.
Why now: Motorists are closely watching fuel and electricity prices as the cost gap between diesel and electric driving widens.
