The total cost of purchasing and driving one—the cost of ownership—has fallen nearly to parity with a typical gasoline-fueled car. Scientists and engineers have extended the range of EVs by cramming ever more energy into their batteries, and vehicle charging networks have expanded in many countries. EVs have finally come of age.

BUSTED: Even including the electricity used for charging, EVs have a smaller carbon footprint than gasoline-powered internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. With the continuing improvement in battery technology, we can expect that distance to increase over time. Fuel-wise, electric is cheaper than gasoline, hands down.
