Is it really cheaper to own an EV?

[steveting99]

Interesting article from Dollars and Sense on the cost of having an electric vehicle in Singapore: https://dollarsandsense.sg/cost-guide-buying-electric-car-singapore/

Includes reduction in the Additional Registration Fee (ARF), Vehicle Emission Scheme (VES) rebate and Road Tax Cost For Electric Cars.

True story. UK's wind can generate a lot of power. But no one installs small wind plants to generate power. I only saw one store having something like this. Still, people tend to install solar plants to cut bills.

Besides, there are cars that can run on solar power. But there are no cars that can run on wind power.

IMHO.
Wind turbine needs height.  Also at ground level, usually there is turbulence. 
At one point of time,  I was thinking if I can put on the car some form of turbine to charge the battery. 🤣

Lol! Also, add a sail; maybe when the wind is strong enough, it can make your car run faster! It's eco-friendly though 🤣

EVs registered in Singapore carry a hefty road tax surcharge over ICE cars, to make up for the loss in petrol excise duty. 🙄

In Malaysia, EV road tax are lower than ICE cars' road tax. 😂 https://paultan.org/2024/06/04/new-ev-road-tax-structure-for-malaysia-announced/

For EV owners only

 

As an existing EV owners in Singapore, will your next car (replacement or for family) be an EV?  Or it will be back to ICE or a PHEV?

 

We have many EV threads with many comments from non EV owners. Thought a survey will be a fun way to provide potential EV buyers with reference point for a switch to EV in the local context.  Not sure if we have enough EV owners to make this statistically significant. 

 

In Canada, the number is 97%.

https://driveteslacanada.ca/news/survey-of-over-16000-canadian-ev-owners-finds-nearly-all-are-not-going-back-to-ice/

 

In US, it is 60%.

85% according to another survey but Gill Nowell is an EV advocate and might be using some biased data.

Voted for yes 😁 

Until everyone else changes to EV then I'm going back to dino juice as the chargers are likely to be hogged up. But, then again, this is unlikely as not everyone will bite and jump on the EV bandwagon.

If you want ask for devil advocate,  you sld merge this  into the main EV thread, then you not only get devil advocate, you get devil advocates. 

Of course, if you are only asking for @Vratenza the EV devil advocate, you sld start a thread for him instead.

Why do we need an EV owners only thread? 

Can I go start one for To be EV owners only thread?
