Electric car running costs the same as petrol
Discussion
According to telegraph
Electric cars will cost as much to run as petrol vehicles once green motorists are hit by a fresh wave of Government tax rises.
Plans to force electric vehicle drivers to pay road tax from 2025 will make them as expensive to run as petrol cars, new figures have shown. Analysis by Compare The Market, the price comparison website, found that annual electric vehicle running costs are currently £528 cheaper than for petrol cars. Electric cars cost an average of £1,296 to run for 12 months compared to £1,824 for a petrol car, including petrol, tax and insurance and MOT.
Compare The Market said many electric car drivers will also have to pay the “expensive car supplement”, which is applied to cars worth £40,000 or more and will cost an additional £355. Many electric car models will be subject to this supplements, including the Tesla Model 3 (list price £48,490), the Jaguar I-Pace (£66,350), the Kia e-Niro (£43,040), and the Volvo C40 Recharge (£48,355).
UK consumers are getting ripped off and being taken for mugs? Make it expensive to drive petrol and diesel and then tax you to death for EU optic expensive cars. Less freedom by the day.
