Petrol or electric - which actually costs less to run in 2026? ⚡⛽

Top Gear breaks down the real-world numbers, and the answer isn’t as simple as you might think. While EVs can cost as little as 2-3p per mile when charged at home, petrol cars can sit around 20p+ per mile, but public charging can quickly close that gap.

It all comes down to how (and where) you charge, your mileage, and the car you choose.

So… which one really wins overall? 👀
