How much does an electric car add to your electric bill?
People tell me that an electric car will save you money in the long run. So that got me wondering, really, how much does an electric car add to your electric bill?

That’s a very good question! An
electric car
will typically add $30 to $60 a month to your utility bill.If you have a non-electric car, it costs about $164 per month to buy gas or other fuels.
So, by skipping the gas station and going to a charging station instead, an electric car can save you on average more than $100 a month!
In a year, you could save considerably more than $1,200 by picking an EV over a gas car.
So even though owning an electric car does mean that your electric bill will go up, your total bills will go down!
That’s not to mention that electric cars usually cost less to repair and maintain too.If you want to save even more money, you can consider using
