Even if an electric car is expensive, it can save more than 1.5 million yen compared to a gasoline car in terms of total cost.
by
Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) like the Tesla Model 3 are more expensive to buy than gasoline-powered internal combustion engines (ICEs) , but when you add lifelong fuel and maintenance costs, the total amount is ICE. A study by Consumer Reports , a non-profit consumer organization, showed that it was much lower than.

This survey is an analysis of data from the Consumer Reports annual reliability survey conducted from 2019 to 2020. Consumer Reports is based on car maintenance, repair, and mileage per year, as well as the lifetime mileage of each car. In the calculation, vehicles with a mileage of 3200 km or less or 96,560 km or more in the past 12 months, vehicles with a maintenance cost of 20,000 dollars (about 2.1 million yen) or more, and vehicles with a mileage of 322,000 km or more already Was excluded.
The results show that the maintenance cost of electricity-fueled vehicles such as BEVs and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) is about half the cost of ICE. BEVs and PHEVs cost only $ 0.012 per mile (about 1.6km) for maintenance and repair at the first 80,500km, compared to $ 0.028 (about 2.94 yen) for ICE. The cost for the next 80,500 km will be $ 0.028 for the BEV and $ 0.031 for the PHEV, while the cost for the ICE will rise to $ 0.06 (about 6.3 yen).
Consumer Reports data has a weakness in that the sample size of maintenance and repair costs over a mileage of 100,000 to 200,000 km is relatively small, but looking at the average maintenance and repair costs per mile for the entire life. However, the BEV was $ 0.031 (about 3.25 yen), the PHEV was $ 0.030 (about 3.15 yen), and the ICE was $ 0.061 (about 6.4 yen).

In addition, BEV has high cost performance in terms of fuel efficiency, and the fuel cost per 24,000 km is said to be 790 dollars (about 83,000 yen) cheaper on average than ICE. In the case of an SUV, this amount is $ 1020 (about 107,000 yen), and in the case of a pickup truck, it is $ 1310 (about 137,000 yen).
In addition, an interesting finding has been reported that BEV owners traveling at least 402km do 92% of their charging at home and use the DC fast charging station about six times a year.
Cars are displayed in columns in five categories: hatchbacks , sedans , crossover SUVs , luxury cars (sedans), and luxury cars (crossovers). BEVs and PHEVs under $ 50,000 (about 5.2 million yen) are the most The figure below shows the highly efficient ICE, the best-selling ICE, the highly rated ICE, and the ICE with similar performance to BEV and PHEV. Consumer Reports compared the lifetime costs of these cars.
When comparing costs, Consumer Reports calculates the cost of owning a car for the first seven years and the cost of traveling 322,000 km at a 4.7% interest rate using data from TrueCar, which sells used cars. This amount was taken into account in the United States due to tax cuts when purchasing electric vehicles, but not incentives by state or region.
According to calculations, purchasing the Tesla Model 3 instead of the BMW 330i will save a total of $ 17,600 (about 1.8 million yen). It was also shown that choosing the Tesla Model Y instead of the Lexus crossover would save $ 13,400. On the other hand, there is not much difference in cost between BEV and ICE for crossover, and the savings of Toyota RAV4 compared to Ford Mustang Mach E was about 3,000 dollars (about 310,000 yen).
In the case of PHEVs, there is a big difference in the cost amount of sedans, Honda Clarity PHEV is $ 10,600 (about 1.1 million yen) in total than Toyota Camry, Ford Escape PHEV is $ 10,000 (about 1.1 million yen) than RAV4 Approximately 1.05 million yen) The cost was low.
'ICE with similar performance to BEV and PHEV' means ICE with performance similar to that of electric vehicles, which are highly evaluated for acceleration. Comparing BEV / PHEV and ICE focusing only on 'acceleration', this report also shows that a large savings of 16,000 to 23,000 dollars (about 1.7 million to 2.4 million yen) can be achieved in a lifetime.
