Compared to an ICE vehicle, driving an EV saves EV drivers an estimated $950 a year on fuel costs. These savings add up to a range of $6,000 to $10,000 EV drivers will realize over the lifespan of their EV. Your usage patterns and driving habits will determine how much you're saving, how often you need to charge your EV, and whether public or home charging makes the most sense for your needs. You should consider how much you drive in a day, how far away from home you need to drive, and what kind of traffic you're likely to encounter.
