AN EV owner has warned other drivers about a hidden cost that comes with his Porsche.<\/p>\n
Lee, also known as the MacMaster, took to YouTube to urge other motorists to avoid electric models for the sake of their wallets.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the clip, Lee took his car in for a service but walked away with his bank balance a fair bit lighter.<\/p>\n
He said: "I've not been an advocate for electric cars because I think they're rubbish.<\/p>\n
"I'll just wait for the bill now…and the shock of what it's going to cost me."<\/p>\n
Lee went on to explain how he was left feeling that EVs were actually more expensive to run than petrol models on top of the higher initial cost.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He revealed that his service cost him \u00a3750 because of the extensive checks required, which he described as "pricey".<\/p>\n
Not only that, but he had two tyres replaced as well, taking the total bill to a whopping \u00a31500.<\/p>\n
He added that EVs are also more expensive to simply drive, as public charging prices have now come in line with or even exceeded fossil fuel prices.<\/p>\n
Lee said: "Electric cars, not exactly cheap to run.<\/p>\n

EV's the future? Nah."<\/p>\n He went on to speculate that greater investment in hybrid cars or other environmentally-friendly solutions may be needed, rather than drivers flocking to buy "batteries on wheels".<\/p>\n It comes after a major car brand announced it would discontinue a range of popular models in a bid to go fully electric.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, an EV expert explained why prices are only set to get higher.<\/p>\nI work at a car dealership – trick salesmen always use to make you pay MORE<\/h3>\n
