Total Cost of Ownership
The Case for Electric Vehicles
Benefits To The Consumer• True zero-emission vehicle• Affordable pricing• Lower Total Cost of Ownership than a
comparable Internal Combustion Engine
• Lower maintenance costs than an ICE vehicle (Less complexity, no engine, no oil changes)
Cost Per Mile Comparison (15k miles)• Car (good 25 mpg, $3/gal)
= $0.12 per mile / $1,800• EV (avg $0.11 kWh)
= $0.026 per mile / $396• Advantage exists even if gasoline
drops below $1.10/gal
