Running costs of electric cars vs petrol cars according to size

Arran Cameron
15 year old 7 series BMWs sell for pocket money prices because of the low demand for such cars. Anybody who can afford to run one can probably afford to buy a much younger 7 series. However, its easy to find a buyer who will pay a handsome amount of money for a 15 year old VW Polo in good nick due to the low running costs of this car.


How does the difference in running costs between a large electric car and a small electric car compare with the difference in running costs between a large petrol car and a small petrol car?

    Slightly off topic here. I know an owner of a hybrid car. He never charges it up at an E.V.  charging point. He says that it just charges itself up when he drives it. Efficiency? Very low.




    Why is the efficiency very low? Our little Yaris hybrid exceeds most cars on the road for efficiency. A little electrical storage overcomes a lot of shortcomings in a conventional ICE car.
