Electric cars are 33% cheaper to run in Europe. Petrol fuel costs rose up to 36% in one shock

Battery-electric cars cost 33% less to run than petrol cars in the EU last year, and 28% less when charging only at public stations, according to ICCT data. Combustion-engine energy costs rose 12–36% after February’s oil shock, while electricity prices remained flat. Purchase-price parity has been reached in medium, upper-medium and luxury segments, but not in small or lower-medium models.
