From EV-olution.
After 7 years and over 200,000 km on two EVs, André finally ran the real numbers, straight from his own receipts. No estimates, no myths, no "somebody said" : just what it actually costs to own an EV in Quebec, from maintenance to insurance to charging, compared to a comparable gas-powered crossover. How much did he actually save? This video shows you exactly how much!
