Diesel car costs six times more to run than electric over 1,000 miles
Original: Driving 1,000 miles in a diesel car now costs six times more than an electric vehicle
A new cost comparison finds that driving 1,000 miles in a diesel car now costs around six times as much as covering the same distance in an electric vehicle, with charging far cheaper than filling up at the pump. The figures are renewing debate over running costs and the pace of the switch from petrol and diesel cars to electric models.
Why now: Motorists are closely watching fuel and electricity prices as the cost gap between diesel and electric driving widens.
