% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Over a 200,000 mile vehicle lifetime, to drive a 15 MPG internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle, at $4 per gallon, it will cost over $53,000 for the gasoline!
For a car that gets 25 MPG, the gasoline will cost $32,000 over its vehicle lifetime.
More than the cost of many new vehicles.
Do the oil companies enjoy this kind of revenue?
By contrast, at 6 cents per kilowatt hour, an electric vehicle (EV) getting average "mileage", will require only about $2,642 in electricity to drive 200,000 miles!
Less than three thousand dollars.
