Depends on how busy the gas station is, it’s also much cheaper to charge an EV than pump a comparable amount of gas.
If you're driving an EV, you don't care about money. A cheap man drives an old Toyota hybrid, not an EV.
The cheapest car to drive will almost always be the one you already have. When you need a new car, the used market is actually doing pretty decent. Used EVs can be about as cheap as a basic ICE vehicle now. 1 30-second google search and I found a used EV with 61k miles for $6k, and another for $4k.
Long-term, EVs can also be much cheaper to run, so it actually makes financial sense to make your next vehicle an EV.
And we’re getting more and more data saying that the expectations for battery life were pretty far off. They lasting far longer.
