Are electric vehicles really $30,000 cheaper than gas cars?
A new analysis from Clean Energy Canada suggests the total cost of driving electric may be far lower than most Canadians expect.
In this special presentation, Trevor Melanson (Director of Insights & Communications at Clean Energy Canada) breaks down the real-world cost of owning an EV vs a gas vehicle—using current Canadian data, fuel prices, and ownership trends.
This isn’t about sticker price.
It’s about total cost of ownership—including fuel, maintenance, depreciation, and long-term savings.
What you’ll learn:
How EVs compare to gas cars on total lifetime cost
Why fuel and maintenance savings add up quickly
The real impact of Canadian gas prices vs electricity costs
How incentives and depreciation affect affordability
Why used EVs may be the biggest opportunity right now
If you’re deciding between gas and electric—or think EVs are still too expensive—this data may change your perspective.
