@beeb some are 10k price difference from their petrol equivalent so over 5 years you get the 10k back. This will get much closer in coming years and on some comparisons is very close already.
I think the Niro is closer to the Atto when comparing, and they are similar price to Atto for the hybrid, same with RAV4. Cerato is more like the Dolphin?
Except comapring Toyota Rav4 to Bz4x, where Toyota continues to take the piss on EV pricing like most of the legacy car companies.
Also, look at how well EV's are holding their value, this will continue for a bit while petrol cars that aren't some special one will keep becoming worth less (worthless lol).
Factor in the whole equation and it gets pretty close to break even, and will absolutely go the other way I reckon in the next 5 years.
Home electricty, the main source of fuelling your EV, will never ever be anywhere near the price of petrol. 25c for a high priced KWh vs ~$1.20 (it's about 1.76 KWh per litre of burnt fuel) for a KWh of petrol. It costs half as much or less to fuel up at a fast charger than the bowser, I don't expect electricty to suddenly start increasing faster than petrol.
I get what you are saying but I think you are a bit off on the actual differences when you consider all the numbers. I wonder if Tesla's fuel savings calculator is based on home charging, supercharging or a mix?
