It shows that EVs cost, on average, 23 percent less to run than petrol vehicles over a three-year/60,000-mile period. For smaller cars, the gap gets wider still. An electric Renault Zoe will set you back £1,100 in servicing and maintenance over three years, but a Vauxhall Corsa 1.0 90 Design costs nearly £1,500. That’s more than 35 percent extra. The Nissan Leaf, currently the best-selling EV in the UK, costs just under £1,200 over three years. Compare that to the VW Golf 1.0 TSI at £1,429 and you’re staring at a saving of nearly 20 percent. The number of electric vehicles on the road has jumped by 128 percent over the past three years, with more than 21,000 drivers taking the leap between April 2015 and April 2018. Purchasing costs are still notably higher than a comparable petrol-powered car, but servicing is where you can potentially claw that back. As for the most popular EVs, the Nissan Leaf leads the BMW i3, Volkswagen e-Golf and Renault Zoe in the sales charts. “An electric car motor has far fewer moving parts than a petrol or diesel engine” said Chris Plumb, senior valuations editor at Cap HPI. “While the purchase price is often higher at the moment, but coming down all the time, drivers will find an EV much cheaper to run, with significantly lower costs to charge rather than visiting the pumps – plus lower maintenance costs.” [© motoringresearch.com] ... https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Captain%20Obvious Captain Obvious ... https://www.cap-hpi.com/ cap hpi: hpi check & Vehicle Valuation Services for Trade Online Trusted partners at every stage of the vehicle lifecycle, our quality data empowers intelligent decision-making in a multi-platform world ... https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/fleet-industry-news/2018/10/16/electric-vehicles-cost-23-less-to-maintain-than-petrols-says-cap-hpi Electric vehicles cost 23% less to maintain than petrols, says Cap HPI 16/10/2018 Electric vehicles cost an average 23% less to service and maintain over three years/60,000 miles than petrol models, research from Cap HPI has found. https://cdn.fleetnews.co.uk/web/1/root/motorway-services-and-large-petrol-retailers-must-install-electric-vehicle-chargepoints_w268.jpg http://www.carsuk.net/electric-car-maintenance-costs-are-23-lower-than-an-ice-car/ Electric Car maintenance costs are 23% LOWER than an ICE car October 16, 2018 Electric cars may still cost more to buy than the equivalent diesel or petrol car, but, ...
