AI Summary
The International Council on Clean Transportation released a report on September 6, 2026 stating that in 2025 operating an electric car in Europe cost about one‑third less than operating a gasoline or diesel car. The report notes that the cost gap could widen in 2026 because fuel prices have risen sharply after the U.S. attack on Iran. Lead researcher Marie Rajon Bernard said the savings are significant and help explain the continued shift toward battery electric vehicles. She added that battery‑electric car adoption in Europe is expected to grow further if current policies remain unchanged.
