Considering their carbon footprint and eco-friendliness, people are opting for EVs, but conventional cars still hold their position. Among these debatable elements, cost remains a critical decision-making factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To settle the debate, we have provided a detailed cost analysis of owning EV vs petrol cars, elaborating which is more economical to own in the long run.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-petrol-vs-electric-cars-detailed-cost-breakdown\">Petrol vs Electric Cars: Detailed Cost Breakdown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Drivers receive multiple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/owning-electric-car-dubai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">benefits for owning EVs in Dubai<\/a> and other Emirates such as free charging stations, lower interest rates and many more. On the other hand, petrol cars offer a wider range of vehicles with lower upfront costs and higher resale value.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make an informed decision, it is important to be aware of the cost of owning an EV vs petrol car. Let\u2019s break down the numbers and see which vehicle type offers better value for your money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ev-vs-petrol-cars-upfront-cost\">EV vs Petrol Cars: Upfront Cost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The sales price of a car depends on multiple factors including the brand\u2019s reputation, the model\u2019s service history, fuel efficiency and features. Considering all these factors, the sales price of EVs is higher than petrol ones. This price tag is justified by higher battery and research and development costs. Moreover, economies of scale, supply and demand also play a major role in increasing prices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For further simplification, consider the latest models of Toyota RAV4 and Camry available in both petrol and hybrid engines. The cost of a petrol engine RAV4 in 2025 starts from <strong>AED 99,999<\/strong>; whereas, the hybrid RAV4 price starts from <strong>AED 120,900<\/strong>. Similarly, a conventional Camry is available for <strong>AED 109,900<\/strong> and a hybrid Camry for <strong>AED 123,900<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20101519\/ev-petrol-car-body1-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Agent removing for sale board from a car\" class=\"wp-image-135996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20101519\/ev-petrol-car-body1-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20101519\/ev-petrol-car-body1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20101519\/ev-petrol-car-body1-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20101519\/ev-petrol-car-body1-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20101519\/ev-petrol-car-body1-421x263.jpg 421w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20101519\/ev-petrol-car-body1-558x349.jpg 558w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20101519\/ev-petrol-car-body1-363x227.jpg 363w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20101519\/ev-petrol-car-body1-250x156.jpg 250w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20101519\/ev-petrol-car-body1-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20101519\/ev-petrol-car-body1-774x484.jpg 774w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20101519\/ev-petrol-car-body1-672x420.jpg 672w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20101519\/ev-petrol-car-body1-437x273.jpg 437w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20101519\/ev-petrol-car-body1-301x188.jpg 301w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20101519\/ev-petrol-car-body1-240x150.jpg 240w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20101519\/ev-petrol-car-body1-771x482.jpg 771w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20101519\/ev-petrol-car-body1-669x418.jpg 669w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20101519\/ev-petrol-car-body1-435x272.jpg 435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The upfront cost of buying an electric car is higher than petrol cars<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ev-vs-petrol-cars-per-kilometre-cost\">EV vs Petrol Cars: Per Kilometre Cost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>UAE has announced standardised <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/electric-car-charging-dubai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EV charging<\/a> rates in 2024, accounting for <strong>AED 0.7 AED\/kWh + VAT<\/strong> for AC charging and <strong>AED 1.2 AED\/kWh + VAT<\/strong> for DC charging. Considering these rates and a fuel efficiency of 6 km\/kWh, the per km cost of an EV is around <strong>AED 0.1225<\/strong> for AC chargers and <strong>AED 0.21<\/strong> for DC chargers. If you drive 1000km in a month, owning an EV will cost anywhere between <strong>AED 122<\/strong> to <strong>AED 210<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please remember that the UAEV &#8211; the UAE&#8217;s first government-owned electric vehicle (EV) charging network has announced EV traffic. Effective January 2025, <strong>AED 1.2 DHS\/kWh + VAT<\/strong> for DC chargers and <strong>AED<\/strong> <strong>0.70 DHS\/kWh + VAT<\/strong> for AC chargers will be applied, further increasing the charging cost.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost of fuel in the UAE varies depending on the type, and for this comparison, we\u2019ve used the average price of Special 95, which stands at <strong>AED 2.50<\/strong> as of January 2025. With this price and fuel efficiency of 14 km\/l, the cost per km of petrol cars is around <strong>AED 0.179<\/strong>.
