O Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of electric vehicles in Portugal is the most economical of 22 countries cost for LeasePlan’s Index 2021 car, a report released on Monday.
The LeasePlan Car Cost Index, now in its sixth edition, is a distributed analysis that reveals the TCO of a car – including fuel / energy, depreciation, taxes, insurance and maintenance – in 22 European countries (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom).
“This report is a wake-up call for policy makers: electric cars have finally passed the price turning point and are now cost-competitive across Europe. However, government action, as far as infrastructure is concerned, remains woefully inadequate,” noted LeasePlan executive chairman Tex Gunning, quoted in a statement.
Another of the images of the study is that the average monthly cost of driving a car varies “considerably” across Europe, from €743 a month in Greece to €1,138 in Switzerland.
Poland is the cheapest country to drive a petrol car, while Greece is the cheapest country to drive a gas car.
