The magazine factored in available state tax credits and compared four EVs to what it considered evenly matched competitors, three of which were hybrids.Hyundai Tucson hybrid vs. Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV“An EV may make sense for some buyers, but some might be better off with a fuel-efficient hybrid,” Fisher said.The magazine compared costs for electricity vs.
Fueling the Corolla hybrid cost $114 a year less in Massachusetts than the Leaf EV, $146 more in California and $229 more in Florida. CR: The Leaf cost so much more than the Corolla “that there’s no situation in which the Nissan EV makes up for its cost premium … in fuel savings alone.” The Tucson hybrid cost more than the Ioniq 5 in all three states: $461 in California; $113 in Massachusetts and $460 in Florida.
The electric F-150 Lighting was a consistent big saver versus its hybrid sibling: $1,158 in California; $560 in Massachusetts; $1,001 in Florida. “Because pickups use so much gas, electrification can save buyers a substantial amount,” Fisher said.Because there are still relatively few EVs available, not all CR’s comparisons are perfect. The Corolla hybrid has Toyota’s latest technology, while the Nissan Leaf’s basic engineering is a decade old.
