The latest surge in fossil-fuel prices means it is now up to nine times cheaper in the UK to drive an electric vehicle (EV) than a petrol or diesel car, shows Carbon Brief analysis.
Sounds like big oil propaganda you’re spouting. These are the kinds of talking points I hear from right-wing media.
The truth is EV technology has advanced quite a bit in recent years, and the batteries don’t deprecate as quickly as the anti-solar crowd still claims.
And as someone else already pointed out, EV maintenance is cheaper because there are less parts.
And road tax for EVs is bullshit, but the reason for it is that combustion vehicles already pay it because it’s factored into the price of gas. Or maybe that’s not the same in the UK?
Also, the headline doesn’t claim that the total expense drops to ⅑th, it says the cost to drive it does. That’s a very different claim from the one you’re pretending they tried to make.
