Visual difference in the cost of an electric car and a car with an internal combustion engine using the example of the same model
Until recently, the Jeep Avenger was exclusively an electric vehicle, but now a version with an internal combustion engine has debuted in the UK, and it turned out to be much more affordable than an electric car.
If the price of a Jeep Avenger with a 156 hp electric motor. and a traction battery with a capacity of only 54 kW·h (declared range — 550 km) – 34.8 thousand dollars, then the price of a gasoline car was only 23.6 thousand dollars. True, this option is inferior in characteristics to the electric one: the power of the 1.2-liter turbo engine — only 100 hp, it is combined exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission. But the difference between an electric car and a gasoline version — almost 14 thousand dollars.
The hybrid is not much more expensive than the gasoline version, and it can be called the golden mean: the same 100-horsepower engine is supported by a 28-horsepower electric one. Gearbox — automatic, drive (like all other versions) — front. The consumption of the hybrid is slightly lower than that of the gasoline version.
