Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to run a premium car?
Fuel or charging, insurance, servicing and tax typically add up to £3,000–£8,000 a year for a premium car, before depreciation, which is usually the biggest cost of all.
Is an electric car cheaper to run?
Charging at home is usually much cheaper per mile than petrol or diesel. Public rapid charging can cost about the same as fuel.
