How can I compare the total cost of ownership between electric and gas vehicles

Sure! Here are three different ways you could approach that question:

**Breakdown of Costs**: Start by listing all the costs associated with both electric and gas vehicles. For electric cars, include things like purchase price, charging costs, maintenance, and potential tax incentives. For gas vehicles, factor in the purchase price, fuel costs, maintenance, and insurance. Once you have all that info, you can compare the totals over a set period, like five years.

**Fuel Efficiency**: Look at the miles per gallon (MPG) for gas vehicles and the miles per charge for electric ones. Calculate how much you’d spend on gas versus electricity based on your driving habits. Websites and apps can help you estimate your annual fuel costs, which can really show you the difference in ownership costs over time.
