Gas vs Electric Car - True Costs In 2022

EV junks can't beat the value of any toyota prius, camry and lexus which can last 500k miles !

Well I guarantee you if I hook up an electric car to charge up at my house I would never be able to afford the electrical bill nobody just drives their car to work and back every day electric cars today are only meant for city driving if thatGo buy one of those electric cars in China they’ve got thousands of them parked in the field somewhere there electric scooters are on fire

one big difference is the performace of each vehicle. While the prius is a gas saver it is also a slug on the road. The EV is a nice balance of efficiency and road eating performace runs

These videos are not taking into the account that land owners with public chargers are charging you to park while charging. How does $32 to park and $6 to charge.when your dead you have to pay.

Did they include the price of installation of a charger at their home

Analysis of cost of fuel has to be based on the cost of gasoline less the federal and state highway and excise taxes. Somebody has to pay for the road and upkeep of the infrastructure.

Thanks for the average fuel cost of an average car of $10,000. That's the number I was looking for as I have 3 gas vehicles in that range.

Depreciation calculation for EV is way off....more like 60% not 38 as calculated. And 60% at 3 years unless it's a Tesla with holds value much better.

As an owner of two bulletproof Toyota Hybrids, the longevity and quality has been amazing. Probably will keep them forever. I also have an EV and love it. I use it for daily runs and trips within a 300 mile radius. I charge at home. Cost for maintenance is practically nil. I charge during non peak hours. It’s so nice driving past the Oil Company stations. I use my Highlander Hybrid for long distance travel 400 miles and more. Between minimal to zero emissions is also a good thing, having both technologies, is great. I think overall, the vicious monopolies of the oil companies must end. Bad comparison. Should’ve compared the Prius to a Bolt.

should have included how long did it take to Car the EV. vs a 5 minute stop for GAS.

Is good to have something new but WHY NO ONE is talking about how much is goin cost the driver after he pass 70 mileage on the battery ($25.000) .

Talk about apples and oranges -what an odd comparison

Pls compare full hybrid vs plug in hybrid

My time is more valuable than any fuel cost savings, and the constant range anxiety kills it for me. I’d rather just have a cheap small petrol car with a manual transmission that does 45mpg.

I'm not understanding how can they do this comparison. This is not electric vs gas it's electric vs hybrid

This competition was made for the Prius😅! It makes the frugal person in my want to buy a hybrid Prius! Too bad I need a 3 rows car for my family.

you dont maintain EV often
but when you do
it will cost you your life
Ford lists the price of a replacement battery for a 2021 Mustang Mach-E at over $20,000

start with price
e-mach is 55k dollars
priius is 25k dollars
so far you saved 30k dollars *case closed*🤣 THAT IS 12 YEARS WORTH OF GAS

Nonsense comparison 👎

You guys should take into consideration the time value of money. The EV in this video has more front-loaded cost which is weighted far more heavily than back-loaded costs.

no matter how much u climb vertically. you descend the exact same amount when you return to the same point. descending with regenerating brakes puts the charge back into batteries. Mechanical, rolling and air friction costs you range.
rather than tell us the range tell us the cost. i am in australia and the cost of electricity has doubled in the last 2 years with predictions that it will increase by another 50% over the next year.
cleaner? yes, more expensive ?, yes.
add to this the cost of having to replace the battery on EV after 5 years of average use, $20,000 for a tesla (only $2,000 for generic) no wonder the prick is so rich. that is his '' genius ''.

Why on earth would you compare a hybrid to an EV. What a waste of time

Is it cheaper if we walk 😂

Apples and oranges, and you use public charging prices rather than charge at home prices. Useless comparison.

MarchE gets approximately 307mile/(134kw/33.7) =77.3 mpeg. Other EV might improve a bit, but what if gas price drops to 4$. Prius kills every EV in fuel cost.

Compare it with the Prius Prime. It will likely crash anything on the road.

You should also consider the price of home charge installation.

This is exactly the reason I bought a PHEV (escape), so I can charge at home for daily errands and use hybrid gas engine (35mpg) on long road trips. You should do similar comparison for escape phev vs mach e ?

Yeah, I'll just stick to gas and avoid this EV gimmick.

I'm tired of Car electric running out of time short. And car gas slow save time.

Poor comparison

Great informative video, thank you.

IDK where u get your electricity rates but they aint no 15-20 cents at home in Monterey County

Great road test. Would like to see the Prius vs Honda Clarity PHEV in the same road trip. Thank you for a great video. 👍

Love the Hello Road mashup -- Algorithm found this for me and was super excited to see Ethan show up in your video.

Thanks for sharing.

Sorry but with such a big difference in purchasing costs even a $0 ev fuel cost, the hybrid is cheaper. So makes the insurance, fuel etc pointless to count.

This is an apples to oranges comparison you compare an CUV to a econobox sized car?

Not a fair comparison. Should compare with Nissan leaf

Buy a fwd Hyundai ionic, 90% short commutes, charging at home, even the Prius is no contest. You pretty much have best HEV vs worst EV.

something tells me hybrids would be even better for both upfront cost and total cost to operate? the tech gets better and one could have both option of topping up a fuel tank or leave it to charge if time isn't as issue (eg : overnight when one sleeps)

Great analysis of differences in apples and oranges. No Mach-E buyer would ever see the number difference and say "well guess I'll buy a prius now" or vice-versa.

The most shocking part of this video is the 45MPG for the Prius. That is absolutely abysmal for a 4th gen Prius. I can almost get that with a non-hybrid Corolla. What gives? Lol

great video tho i still lean more towards the Gas cars now. your mention of lower MPG cars at the end was nice but thats a supra and a bronco. how about some of the most sold cars in america like a civic and a rav4. you can snag a civic, as an example, for 23k-ish and get 40+mpg highway. insurance is cheap, ownership is cheap and wont depreciate nearly as hard as the prius or any elec vehicle. i understand generally EVs maintenance will be low but eventually that battery will go and that wont be cheap, not to mention the degradation of the batteries as you charge them over and over. i personally dont see EVs beating the everyday person's gas car. especially in states where gas isnt 5.70. gas in Massachusetts is around 4.80

If we all get EVs we can crater the national power grid so we all get to walk or ride bikes. And that's great exercise and very efficient. BTW great video really enjoyed it.

SEVENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS for the "mustang"... that is ridiculous...

As they say time is money. You should add the cost of a person’s time while charging the EV vs. filling up with gas

You also need to measure convenience and time. How much time did you spend on the road charging compared to fueling?

Would have prefered to see an suv in the same dimmensions against the mchE. An escape or a crv or maybe an rx350.
