People buying new EVs on our site were paying on average just over \u00a33,000 more for their vehicles six months ago than they are now.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it has been widely reported that heavy discounting is likely to remain, as car manufacturers face increasing pressure to hit ambitious EV sales targets set by the government. And we expect an influx of EVs from Chinese brands, which will be priced very competitively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking, electric cars cost less to run than petrol or diesel alternatives if you can charge one at home (don\u2019t forget to explore grants towards the installation of your chargepoint) &#8211; especially if you get an EV specific tariff and are clever about it, such as by charging overnight.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mouthymoney.co.uk\/your-questions-answered\/\">Ask our experts your money questions<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Savings on fuel can add up to a huge amount over the lifetime of your car &#8211; and you\u2019re likely to spend less on maintenance, as EVs have far fewer moving parts than petrol and diesel vehicles, so put simply, there\u2019s less to look after.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also incentives in place for the time being to encourage EV adoption. But exemption from road tax (and the \u00a3310-a-year Expensive Car Supplement for cars listed at more than \u00a340,000) is something that\u2019s being discontinued from April 2025. However, realistically incentives won\u2019t be sustainable at scale as more and more people switch to electric; they\u2019re about encouraging early adopters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suffice to say that the market is in flux. There is no crystal ball we can use to say for certain exactly what will happen to the cost of an EV &#8211; both upfront and in-life. But there are attractive incentives to take advantage of now, from discounts on the list price to in-life benefits like road tax exemption and grants towards charging facilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our advice is that if an EV appeals to you &#8211; whether you\u2019re motivated by doing right by the planet, or you\u2019re interested in the latest tech &#8211; there are plenty of compelling reasons to go for it. But if you\u2019re not sure, there\u2019s no harm in hanging on. Ultimately we\u2019ll all be driving one &#8211; it\u2019s just a matter of when individuals make the right move for them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"192\" height=\"192\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mouthymoney.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/John-Rawlings.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10066 lazyload\" style=\"width:236px;height:auto\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mouthymoney.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/John-Rawlings.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.mouthymoney.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/John-Rawlings-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mouthymoney.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/John-Rawlings-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.mouthymoney.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/John-Rawlings-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/www.mouthymoney.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/John-Rawlings-20x20.jpg 20w, https:\/\/www.mouthymoney.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/John-Rawlings-96x96.jpg 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 192px) 100vw, 192px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>John Rawlings is consumer editor at Carwow, the online car-changing marketplace.
