How do they compare?

The difference between running costs is stark even when using average fuel prices - and the gap has got even bigger during the fuel crisis.

The upfront cost difference is also coming down.
‍
Range and capability of EVs is increasing.

Charging infrastructure is improving.

And more businesses are investing in solar to bring the price of electricity down even further.

It's better on electrons

Running on New Zealand-made energy made economic sense before the fuel crisis kicked off and it makes even more sense now that fuel prices have gone through the roof. You could shop around and get slightly cheaper petrol or diesel, but history suggests the price will keep going up. As this live price tracker shows, the best bet is to go electric and, if you can, run on the sun.

EVs are cheap as chips to run!
