Is it worth it to buy an electric car?

Ultimately, the best car for an individual person will depend on their needs, budget, and circumstances. However, there are enormous cost benefits to owning an electric vehicle, let alone the benefits to the environment.

According to the Electric Vehicle Council (EVC), the average petrol car costs about $14 per 100km, while the average EV only costs $4 per 100km. That’s an almost 75% difference in price!

Customers with solar panels installed in their homes could find the cost of their recharges virtually free if they charge during daylight. Complimentary recharge stations at some grocery stores also makes it fairly easy to stay on the go.

Meanwhile, the simplicity of EV engines compared to internal combustion engines (20 parts vs. over 2,000) means repairs are both far less likely to happen and far simpler to execute in practice, even if parts may take a while to get here.

Looking forward to the future, EVs present a promising alternative to petrol cars. As demand, knowledge, and infrastructure around them grows, drivers could be rewarded for their eco-friendly purchase.
