The study examines how factors like home charging access, public charging fees, and regional electricity prices influence total ownership expenses over time. Drivers considering an EV transition may find unexpected savings—or hidden costs—depending on where and how they charge. The findings could reshape perceptions of which option remains cheaper in the long run.
