EVs Save Owners More Money on Gas, Maintenance

An article from 24/7 Wall St. reported that owners of electric vehicles (EVs) can save as much as $10,000 more than those who own gas-powered vehicles. EV owners reportedly save money on fuel, maintenance, repairs and depreciation, as well as receive financial incentives from the federal government for making such an environmentally conscious purchase.

The article used data from ALG, TrueCar’s industry research firm, and Consumer Reports, which showed that EV owners can expect to break even on the depreciation of their car within five years. In addition, they are expected to spend 60% less money on fuel and 50% less money on maintenance and repairs. Further, ALG and Consumer Reports found that it costs $9,200 to maintain an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle during its lifetime, while maintenance costs for battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid EVs (PHEVs) are 50% lower.

As an example of how EV owners save more money on gas, after 15,000 miles of driving, an ICE passenger car owner would pay $1,420 for fuel, while an electric passenger car owner’s cost is $620. For gas-powered SUV/crossover owners, fuel costs are $1,800, while the owners of their electric counterparts have to pay $780. ICE pickup owners would pay $2,300, compared to $990 for the owner of an electric-powered pickup.

Consumer Reports also listed which EVs would save owners the most money over their lifetime. The Tesla Model 3 had the most value, saving owners $17,600 and the Model Y saved owners $13,400. Rounding out the top five were the Honda Clarity PHEV ($10,600), the Ford Escape PHEV ($10,000) and the Toyota Prius Prime ($8,400).

Ease of arranging car pick up was good. I did call the number given to me in the follow up to accept my offer and it took a few calls to the main number to get someone to call me back. Neal’s towing was assigned to do my pickup which was scheduled for between 10am and 12 Pm. At 1:40 I called the towing company they said he was running behind. The tow did not come until after 4 pm! The driver apologized for the delay , I received my payment in cash and my car was loaded on the tow! Would use again but would have appreciated someone from either company to call and keep me informed of the delay.
First time here very easy ... Massive operation and I was in and out in less than 10 minutes with cash in hand.. got rid of 400 lb of steel from an old shed.
