Please itemise where you’re saving money owning & running an electric car
I’ve run an EV for so long (10 years) I can’t really compare ICE running costs but EV service costs, road tax and fuel are a fraction of the cost running an ICE car. Fuel cost for me is about 2p per mile, I’m guessing ICE fuel is maybe 20p per mile!
