EV owners increasingly looking to switch back to gas, discouraged by cost and lack of charging

Teresa Marshall was an early electric vehicle adopter.

In 2019, she was driving about 50,000 kilometres a year. To save on gas and maintenance, and reduce her impact on the environment, she purchased a used 2017 Nissan Leaf for about $20,000.

“It’s been a great vehicle,” she said. “Maintenance wise, it’s cost me a fraction. The oil change on my Acura TL was about 600 bucks. I’ve spent about $600 total on services on my Leaf in the last five years. It’s a big difference.”
