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

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

"In fact, it's probably cheaper to get a petrol or a diesel when you look at the running costs.<\/p>\n

"If you're running an EV and you're just running around town…and you're not going very far it might work out a lot cheaper for the time being.<\/p>\n

"But on long journies I stick by what I say. 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>\n
