How do EV ownership costs vs. gas vehicle ownership costs compare?

Long-term, owning an EV can be more economical than a traditional gas-powered vehicle. While initial prices might be similar to that of a comparable gas-powered vehicle, recurring savings on fuel and lower maintenance costs ultimately mean that EVs generally win out when it comes to cost savings.

Do electric cars need oil changes?

Since electric cars lack internal combustion engines, they do not require oil changes. This saves EV owners significant time and money, eliminating the hassle and cost of routine oil change appointments.

Is it more or less expensive to maintain an EV?

Electric vehicles usually have fewer wear components, meaning they are less costly to maintain compared to gas-powered cars. This results in fewer visits to the mechanic and added savings. In fact, buying a new EV means never having to book another oil change or tune-up again!

How much does it cost to charge an EV?

The cost of charging an EV varies based on local electricity rates and the type of public or home charging station used. Generally, charging an electric car is more cost-effective than filling up the gas tank of a traditional car, providing consistent savings over your ownership journey.
