Electric cars impress with low running costs, quiet driving and locally emission-free propulsion. Those who can charge at home or work benefit the most.
Combustion engines still score with long range, fast refuelling and a dense fuel station network – ideal for high-mileage drivers and long trips without charging planning.
Your driving profile is decisive: for city and commuting an EV is often the cheaper choice, while for frequent long distances an efficient combustion engine or hybrid can make sense.
Calculate over the entire ownership period: purchase, energy, maintenance and resale value reveal the true picture.
