Consider purchase price, insurance, home charger installation, public charging rates,
tyres, financing and resale value. Compare total ownership cost, not only energy cost.
EV electrical systems and charging connectors are designed with weather protection and
safety checks. Use approved equipment, follow the manufacturer's instructions and do
