Is going electric really cheaper? We do the science to find out the precise difference between ICE and EV from a dollars and cents perspective.You've probably heard many people espouse the benefits of electric vehicles. Besides how they feel to drive, perhaps the biggest argument for going electric is that it is cheaper to run than a petrol car — the key idea here is electricity is cheaper than petrol .
So, the question is, is there any way to do an actual apples-to-apples comparison, to figure out exactly the difference between an ICE and EV?The truth is that it has been close to impossible to do any apple-to-apple comparison precisely because most EVs don't have an exact ICE counterpart. Even if there are models with both ICE and electric powertrains, there is almost always a price disparity .
So, here's the plan. I'm going to plot out an exact route, drive both cars at the same time of day on the same route on the same day one week apart, and use the respective consumption figures to calculate petrol/electricity costs. A little about the route: I've planned a mixture of highway , downtown, and heartland routes covering just about every area of Singapore.
