Original: Analysis: EVs are now nine times cheaper than petrol or diesel to drive in UK

An analysis by Carbon Brief finds that driving an electric vehicle in the UK now costs roughly nine times less per mile than running a petrol or diesel car, reflecting cheaper charging costs compared with high fuel prices. The finding is drawing attention amid ongoing debate over the cost of living and the transition away from combustion-engine vehicles.

Why now: Rising fuel prices and growing interest in the switch to electric vehicles make the cost comparison highly relevant right now.
