    Like with most cars running costs will vary from vehicle to vehicle, but a few common traits are that charging is often cheaper than refuelling at a petrol station and because of how electric cars are built there are fewer moving parts in the engine. This tends to mean that they have cheaper servicing costs.

    They can be, they’re still a relatively new technology but prices are decreasing with many experts believing the cost of a new electric car will be similar to their petrol counterpart by the mid 2020s. There are government grants available to help with the costs, you can find out more here.
