1. Comparison of the cost of electric cars and fuel cars

(1) Purchase cost: for the purchase cost of the tram is indeed more expensive than the same model of gasoline cars, but it is not difficult to find that the price of the tram has been gradually reduced while the price of gasoline cars has been increasing in the future is even more so, but the tram’s clean energy for him to meet the other preferential, in Canada, Colombia and other regions in order to promote green carbon neutral development of electric vehicle incentive programs, you can get through the government tram Purchase of subsidies, further narrowing the gap between trams and gasoline cars.

(2) Maintenance costs, for cars there is also a problem of maintenance costs, any car owner who buys a car every year to replace the air filter, spark plugs, belts and other costs, gasoline cars contain more mechanical systems for the operation of the more vulnerable to damage, but for the electric car maintenance costs are much lower, most owners only repair tires and windshield wipers.

(3) Road tax, each car in the annual need to pay the road fee but since 2024 the United Kingdom abolished the collection of road tax on electric cars, to 2025 the new road tax will be applied to electric cars, from the first year of 180 pounds to 5 consecutive years of subsidies for 390 pounds of fees to the end of the maximum rate of 10 pounds per year, compared with petrol cars more than 2,000 pounds of fees per year, a lot less, the cost of electric cars. This shows that electric cars will be even more favorable.

(4) air cleaning fee, some countries have designed a clean city has strict requirements for carbon dioxide emissions in the city, for more than the emissions of gasoline cars need to pay the fee, but for electric cars do not have to worry about additional costs.

2. Comparison of electric vehicles and fuel car power costs

First of all, according to the normal implementation of electric vehicles in the city to compare the average mileage of gasoline cars and electric vehicles cost. In the United States, the national price of gasoline is about $3.5 per gallon, and in special areas such as California, the price of gasoline can reach $5.00 per gallon, and the reduction of gasoline will gradually increase the price of gasoline. Electricity costs much less in comparison at 15 cents per kilowatt hour in areas where electricity is stable.

The average electric car can travel about 3 miles per kilowatt hour at a cost of 5 cents per mile, and 25 miles per gallon of fuel, averaging 15 cents per mile, making gasoline cars more expensive than trolleys in terms of fuel prices.

The difference is even more pronounced for larger vehicles, and for electric trucks and gasoline trucks the difference is about five times greater.

3. Reasons that prevent electric trolleys from having lower electricity costs

(1) popularization, electric vehicles in addition to home charging, electric vehicles outside the need to have a special car charging pile, however, this charging pile only exists in high economic areas for electricity in difficult areas of electricity costs are higher than the cost of fuel, this power cost gap will be reversed, and secondly, charging piles can not be like a gas station in all areas, electric vehicle charging can not be guaranteed, compared with the charging speed of the trolley car there is also a time Cost.

(2) Charging loss, for the charging of electric vehicles, there is a loss that does not exist in gasoline cars, in the charging of trams there is a current conversion will cause a loss of about 10% of the cost of this loss needs to be paid by the owner.

(3) Household charger, for short-distance use of the car is usually filled at home to this need to be equipped with the corresponding charger for the tram.

(4) peak power consumption, life, especially in the summer, there is a day of peak power consumption in the peak power consumption when there is a charging virtual power actually can not charge the loss of power, the need to avoid the peak power consumption at night.

(5) battery, although the battery lithium battery life is longer for 8 to 10 years, but a replacement battery costs are still high, for different car battery costs between 5,000 to 20,000 U.S. dollars is a lot of money.

4. photovoltaic industry on the cost of electric vehicles

(1) the construction of solar power generation parking room, for electric vehicles are usually in line with the development of photovoltaic industry, for the family charging needs to establish a photovoltaic parking room to meet the charging needs of electric vehicles, but also effectively avoid the charging problem during the daytime power peak, for the high cost of monthly fuel costs for the establishment of the solar panels to generate electricity workshop can be completely save money in the long term will be a lot of Expenses.

(2) with the car power generation solar panels, for the car to install solar panels is completely permissible and feasible, no matter hard solar panels soft solar panels and folding solar panels for the car itself will not occupy too much space but can be at any time for the car’s power supply, and at the same time in the long-distance car driving for the car is equipped with additional battery packs to store the power for the car’s mileage will be a big improvement, but also can cope with sudden energy consumption, just wait and then you will have to wait for it. It is also possible to cope with sudden energy depletion and just wait for it to be replenished, which is not possible with fuel cars.

Conclusion

The purchase cost of electric vehicles is higher but in other costs are lower than gasoline vehicles, but the use of electric vehicles in the region is limited in some areas of the cost of electric vehicles is higher, at the same time, the rapid development of the photovoltaic industry on the power of electric vehicles to supplement the power of more ways to greatly save the cost of electric vehicles.
