Electric Car vs Gas Car
Auto — Honest comparison to help you decide
Electric (EV)
- ✓ 70-80% cheaper fuel cost
- ✓ Much lower maintenance
- ✓ Zero emissions
- ✓ Instant torque (fun to drive!)
- ✓ Government incentives/tax credits
VS
Gas/Petrol
- ✓ Lower purchase price
- ✓ No range anxiety
- ✓ Faster refueling (5 min vs 30-60 min)
- ✓ Wider model selection
- ✓ No charging infrastructure needed
The Verdict
Daily commute under 200 km with home charging: EV saves $1,000-2,000/year. Long-distance highway driving without home charging: gas still more practical (for now).
