My car is coming to the end of its days (25 yo Toyota Corolla best car ever).

It hadn’t really crossed my mind to buy an EV until the war and the surge of fuel prices. I was just going to go for another Toyota Corolla but the hybrid model until I went to Tesla and gave one a test drive… which was unreal and that experience really got me thinking if I just go for a full EV.

Then a spanner was thrown in the works when I read up the other day that there will be a per km tax implemented in the future. I was thinking, at the end of the day, a petrol car and an EV will probably cost the same to run when you’re looking at just that aspect.

I know it’s a very delicate and divisive topic and one I don’t know much about, so please don’t come at me with a wrecking ball! I just want to make a good long term decision as I am not one to upgrade cars often!

Any car experts out there have some wise words of wisdom!?

Last days of summer!

EV verses petrol car for the long run?
