Plus, the investment gap between gas-powered vehicles and EVs is becoming less egregious, which means company owners don’t have to wait as long to start seeing the cost savings associated with owning an electric vehicle. Additionally, EVs have fewer maintenance needs than traditional vehicles, adding to their financial viability.

They also found that the total costs of ownership (TCO) of the electric and diesel trucks are similar. Over an array of possible conditions, the median TCO of electric trucks is 22% less than that of diesel trucks on the NYCC. However, the cost-competitiveness of the electric truck diminishes in drive cycles with higher average speed.

Over the last two decades, fully electric cars have had, let’s say, a slow start. And while hybrid technology has taken off, drivers have been hesitant to accept fully battery-powered tech for a variety of reasons, including a lack of charging stations. But things are looking up for electric. Electric Vehicles: Right Now.
