Infographic : Car Cost Comparison: Electric vs Gas Infographic

I’m a petrol head. Quite a bold statement to make in 2021. I’ve always loved cars and loved driving.

The advent of electric cars is changing the driving landscape and I think in my lifetime everyone will be driving semi-automated cars. Or, they will have their car driving and speeds tracked and capped.

Elon Musk and Tesla have probably done more for the positive image of the electric car than any other brand. If the future looks like Tesla then bring it on.

Electric cars are more of an investment to purchase outright and insurance is more expensive for electric cars. Being an early adopter of Ev comes at a cost.

However, as technology improves then the costs will improve. And in a few years time, the choice for gas powered cars could well be taken away.

This infographic by Wallet Genuis is a great overview of the cost comparison between gas and electric cars. The long form article is also worth reading: Electric Car vs Gas Costs: Which Truly Saves You The Most Money?
