Will electricity save me money?

For energy alone, the answer comes from distance, consumption, charging losses, and your local prices. A low home tariff can make an EV substantially cheaper to run. Frequent rapid charging may narrow or reverse that difference.

For a purchase decision, add the actual vehicle price, finance, tax, insurance, servicing, tyres, and expected resale value over the same period.
