EVs nine times cheaper to run than petrol cars in UK
Original: Analysis: EVs are now nine times cheaper than petrol or diesel to drive in UK
A new analysis from Carbon Brief finds that driving an electric vehicle in the UK now costs roughly nine times less than driving a petrol or diesel car, reflecting cheaper charging costs compared with high fuel prices. The finding is drawing attention as drivers weigh the running-cost savings of EVs against higher upfront purchase prices, and as the UK pushes ahead with the transition away from combustion engines.
Why now: The striking cost gap between electric and petrol or diesel driving is prompting debate about EV affordability and the UK's transport transition.
