Should I switch to an electric car, or is my hybrid good enough to keep? Seven real UK drivers brought their own numbers to the first Should I Switch? TikTok Live. If you can charge at home, switching almost always pays: a 16,000-mile diesel commuter saves about £2,540 a year. If you can't, a good hybrid is still the honest answer — for now. At 10,000 miles a 55mpg hybrid costs about £1,450 in petrol, against £230 for an EV charged at home and £1,630–£2,380 on public chargers.Also in this episode: which energy supplier is best for EV drivers, according to new Ofgem-commissioned research (Octopus Energy 91%, nine points clear); hybrid vs plug-in hybrid vs range extender vs electric car explained, with pay-per-mile tax from 2028; whether electric lorries are already cheaper than diesel; and the £130,000 UK-built Jaguar Type 01.Correction: the Electric Car Grant does not end next March.Join the free Primetime EV Club for the cheapest charging rates and best lease deals: primetimeev.com/club
