70% of the average family’s energy bill is the fuel they put in their car. Petrol or diesel. You can see here that even if you use existing grid power, and switched to an EV or hybrid, your fuel costs for cars would be cut in half. Move to renewables and you cut the bills by two-thirds. That’s thousands of your dollars that you get to keep, every single year. (Note: this is when petrol was $1.42 a litre. It’s obviously much higher now. So the savings are even greater, to switch to electric.)
