Electric vehicles (EVs) offer many benefits over traditional gas-powered cars. They're cheaper to operate and maintain, and they emit no pollutants. However, EVs can be more expensive to buy than traditional cars due in part to the high cost of batteries. But over time, the savings on fuel and maintenance costs can more than compensate for the higher initial price tag. A new study from Consumer Reports found that owning an EV can save you tons of money over the years compared to a gas-powered car.
