ICE vs EV: Cost & Co2 Comparison
Here's a detailed comparison of key factors between Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles and Electric Vehicles (EVs):
| Category | ICE Vehicle | Electric Vehicle | EV Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Running Costs (1,000 miles) | £181.84 | £75.00 | £106.84 Saved |
| Annual Maintenance | £500–£700 | £200–£300 | £400+ Saved |
| Annual Emissions (12,000 miles) | 2,508 kg CO2 | 240 kg CO2 | 2,268 kg CO2 Saved |
| Lifetime Costs (100,000 miles) | £23,184 | £9,500 | £13,684 Saved |
*Maintenance costs may come from market surveys or average industry estimates.
Emissions figures are often based on UK BEIS emissions factors or data from SMMT (Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders).
