EVs Cost A Lot Less To Drive Than Gas Cars in Europe—Even With Public Charging

  • New research shows that EVs were cheaper to run than combustion cars in Europe by at least a quarter in 2025.
  • The ICCT’s latest study underlines that even when using more expensive public charging, EVs are still more affordable.
  • Purchase prices have also gone down, with dozens of affordable models to choose from and over 150 in total.
