The electric revolution is officially here to stay: savvy drivers are increasingly investing in electric cars, which not only save on carbon emissions but also on soaring fuel costs.
With the average price of electricity in the UK around 34p per kWh from 1 October, compared to around 165.75p per litre for petrol and 181.93p per litre for diesel (according to the RAC), a previous study by USwitch found that UK drivers spend an average of £1,153 on fuel every year, compared to just £309.65 per year for electric car owners to charge their vehicle - an annual saving of £843.35.
