In this video, I discuss the financial implications of purchasing and operating an electric car compared to a gasoline-powered one. I explore whether it is a sensible decision to choose an electric vehicle over its traditional counterpart, taking into account factors such as initial cost, potential battery issues after the warranty period, and resale value concerns. To help make an informed decision, I created a worksheet and conducted some calculations to compare the 2022 Mini Cooper SE electric car with a base model gasoline Mini. My findings were surprising and enlightening.
