This study aims to compare from the economic point of view the individual use of a heat engine vehicle to that of an electric one in specific applications. Indeed, although the cost involved in buying and keeping a traditional vehicle is widely known, the same cannot be said far automobiles that run on batteries, which are built according to specific functional, construction and legal requirements. Hence, an analysis of the costs involved in the life cycle of electric vehicles is first and foremost a quality-oriented analysis, rather than a quantitative one, that is to say, it will be aimed at identifying the new kinds of fixed and variable costs which the individual use of these vehicles entails.
