The most relevant trade-off a consumer must consider when deciding between an electric vehicle and a gasoline-powered vehicle is:
trading higher up-front costs for lower maintenance costs.
Electric vehicles often have a higher initial purchase price compared to gasoline vehicles, but they typically incur lower maintenance costs over time due to fewer moving parts and lower costs for routine maintenance.
