And they say that electric cars are cheaper to maintain than gasoline cars. Analysts have estimated that owning a Tesla Model Y crossover will cost 4 million over 5 years.

Or 10 million rubles over 5 years – taking into account the cost of the car itself

The maintenance of a 2023 Tesla Model Standard Range in Russia will cost a pretty penny: according to NAPI analysts, such a car will require expenses of 786.4 thousand rubles per year, and in five years you will have to pay 3.93 million rubles.

The calculation was made for a conditional resident of Moscow, traveling 20 thousand km per year. This took into account the costs of insurance (MTPL and Casco), seasonal tire changes and the purchase of winter tires, charging, maintenance, as well as various taxes and fees. The cost of a car in Russia is approximately 6.35 million rubles.
