Electric cars now cheaper than petrol cars for the first time Autotrader data shows EV prices undercut petrol while Renault 5 leads buyer interest and Chinese Jaecoo 5 second

⚡️ EVs—now £785 cheaper upfront than their gas equivalents—have hit a 'true' milestone in the U.K., according to data from Autotrader.

Will Outrageous Gas Prices Restart the EV Boom? - Macleans.ca EV sales plummeted in 2025. But exorbitant fuel costs, new rebates and more competition could soon turn the market around.

🇨🇦🚙 "Drivers are now paying roughly $20 to $25 more each time they fill up their tanks. I, on the other hand, am saving $500 a month—and that’s because, for the last three years, I’ve been driving an electric vehicle," writes @joannakyriazis.bsky.social.

And depending on your commute, the fuel savings alone can really add up:

As you can see, EVs are the biggest driver of those cost savings—and with high gas prices and more EV affordable models on the horizon, their cost advantage is only growing.

For example, the Chevrolet Equinox EV:

🔌🚙🍁 NEW REPORT: Typical two-car households can save hundreds of dollars a month by electrifying their homes and vehicles, according to a new Clean Energy Canada report.

Here's what those savings look like across Canada:

UK Electric Vehicle Sales Rise to Record High Amid Fuel Price Rise High gas prices are sparking more interest, but it remains to be seen whether EV sales will continue to surge.

🔌📈 U.K. EV sales rose to a record high last month, as high gas prices push regular people into electrified vehicles, said one expert.

"We’ve seen enquiries for electric cars jump 36% once prices started climbing. People are doing the maths in real time," said another.

Canada’s EV rebate hits a sweet spot in the auto market, says new report - The Logic By restricting eligibility to vehicles under $50,000, the incentive targets the part of the market where going electric costs the most, says Clean Energy Canada

🇨🇦 Canada’s new EV rebate, with its $50,000 price cap, effectively targets models with the biggest price gaps between their electric and gas equivalents—a “fair and targeted” way to improve access to middle-class vehicles, says Clean Energy Canada.
