Electric cars beat petrol on price for the first time, but do they really save you money?

  • Electric cars now cost £42,620 on average, undercutting petrol by £785.
  • Discounts remain high at 11.7 per cent, keeping EV prices competitive.
  • Running costs favour EVs, but charging access still limits savings for many.

Electric cars in the UK have, for the first time, become cheaper to buy than petrol models, marking a notable shift in a market where upfront cost has long been a barrier. Data from Auto Trader UK shows the average price of a new EV at £42,620, compared to £43,405 for a petrol car, a difference of £785 based on advertised prices after discounts.

The shift has been driven by a mix of government incentives and sustained price cuts from manufacturers. Grants of up to £3,750 have helped bring down prices, while carmakers have been offering historically high discounts to meet zero emission vehicle targets and respond to rising competition, including from lower-cost Chinese brands.
