Many motorists are postpone shopping for an electrical automotive by the hefty price tag.
However specialists at the Power and Climate Intelligence Unit reckon that swerving the "petrol premium" will prevent hundreds.
Most automobiles have an expected lifetime of around 14 years, and getting an EV might save you about £10,000 in that point.
Petrol drivers should splash out on gasoline, excise obligation and servicing – to the tune of £700 a yr.
ECIU's Colin Walker informed This is Money: "Drivers are being hit by a £700 petrol premium.
"A change to an EV will see a fast return on the investment made."
The RAC's Rod Dennis stated: "Contemplating the full value of operating a automotive throughout its life, moderately than simply serious about the upfront value, may look like a wierd idea.
"However if you do the sums electrical automobiles might be a lot cheaper to keep on the street."
Most EVs are fairly expensive – but some automotive makers are launching budget-friendly fashions this yr.
Citroen's e-C3 will start from £22,550, and Renault's upcoming Twingo might value less than £17,000.
Skoda, Dacia and Volkswagen even have cheaper EV fashions within the pipeline.
The used-car market is presently dominated by petrol motors, but the rising number of second-hand EVs on sale may even push down costs.
And with battery prices set to plunge by around 40 per cent, EVs will solely get more reasonably priced.
In the meantime, a Japanese brand has released its first EV – but has ditched a key function.
