From transition to reality: a turning point for consumers' electric mobility
www.beuc.eu
BEUC’s latest total cost of ownership study reveals that electric cars are at a turning point in Europe, with the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of battery electric vehicle (BEVs) becoming competitive with conventional vehicles for first owners as early as 2026.

Electric cars have crossed lifetime cost parity with petrol vehicles across much of Europe. In the used-car market they now have the lowest total cost of ownership.

Newer models even match petrol cars in estimated lifespan, that’s something early EVs could not claim.

This study shows that any new electric vehicle sold today will bring financial benefits to its second and third owner. New electric cars registered now will deliver between €262 and €849/year savings for their future second and third owners compared to an equivalent petrol car.

    Ah, ya maybe there’s no home charging. Electricity rates here are pretty cheap though, they could be somewhere where it’s much more as well which would bring the miles down a lot. California would be more than double what I pay for example.
