How Much Can You Save Driving Electric?
Gas costs add up quickly. For example:
- 1,000 miles per month
- Gas vehicle averaging 25 MPG
- Fuel at ~$3.25/gallon → about $130–$160 per month
Now compare that to an EV:
- Home charging often averages $30–$60 per month (varies by electric rates)
- Fewer maintenance needs (no oil changes, fewer engine services)
- Lower long-term cost of ownership
That can mean hundreds to thousands of dollars saved each year, depending on your driving habits.
