Switching from gasoline to electric vehicles can significantly reduce costs for drivers. A study in France indicates that charging an electric car can be up to three times cheaper than filling a gasoline or diesel tank. Tiberiu, an electric car owner, reports savings of up to five times compared to his previous gasoline vehicle. Charging at home costs him about 20 lei for 100 kilometers, while public charging is more expensive. Additionally, maintenance costs for electric cars are around 40% lower due to fewer moving parts and no oil changes. The growing interest in electric vehicles is reflected in sales statistics, with nearly 7,900 new electric cars registered in the first nine months of the year, a 45% increase from last year.
