In general, fuel costs for EVs are significantly lower compared to fuel costs for petrol cars. Jalopnik calculated that you can save more than €1,200 per year on fuel costs driving a Tesla Model 3 Performance instead of an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. Not only is regular fuel more expensive, but hydrogen cars also lose to EVs with respect to fueling costs, according to Oilprice. Coming from water, hydrogen seems to be a cheaper fuel. However, it requires an additional external source to split the H2O molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. This process is not developed in an optimal way and therefore results in a more expensive fuel.
