We talk to two industry experts to find out how changing the way we use EVs can make them cheaper
Ask anyone teetering on the brink of electric car ownership, or just discounting the idea altogether, what’s stopping them from pulling the trigger and the most likely answer is the high retail price. It’s common knowledge that, almost without exception, EVs have a significantly higher price than their combustion counterparts and, for many, it’s too much to ask.
“For people buying the ‘right’ EV – by which I mean the owner is using the range it’s capable of – the total cost of ownership is not a big issue,” he says. “If you’re clever about which tariff you get from your provider and store the energy you buy in the car’s battery, then your total cost of ownership is at least as good as it is for a petrol or diesel car. The challenge is the really big upfront cost, but running costs afterwards are pretty low.
