The purchase cost of a typical car is usually the main thing people consider when buying and they just face the running costs over the years. I bought a car 9 years ago which cost me $17,000 and each year I ran it I was paying $5000 for fuel and servicing so I paid an additional $40,000 over the 8 years I owned the car. I've recently bought an EV and the annual running costs are around $200. The car cost me $43,000 so with the running costs I'll save $13,000 over the same period as my previous car. Hybrids make less sense because they still use fuel and still have the complications associated with a regular ICEV so they save less over time than a pure BEV.
