It’s fairly well known by now that EVs cost far less per mile to drive than their closest ICE counterparts, and the main reason is simply that the EV drivetrain is far more efficient at converting its stored form of energy into motion. The OBC is usually a metal box hidden somewhere on the vehicle, which EV owners never see.
