Official: it's cheaper to drive an electric car in London

Under the headline 'Frugal electric cars cruise past gas-guzzlers', the Sunday Times reported that the UK's soaring petrol prices have made it cheaper for the first time to drive an electric car than a conventional petrol or diesel car.


The figures assume that the electric car costs £10,000 more to purchase, petrol at 113.13p per litre and includes road tax, parking and congestion charges and 10,000 miles driving per year over a four year period.
