Electric car guide: vehicle cost comparisons, wall boxes, battery technology Buy an e-car E-car load Driving an e-car Outlook: hydrogen cars with fuel cell The combustion engine is slowly but surely running out of fuel. Ever more and ever better electric cars promise to protect the environment without the driver having to forego comfort. The batteries are getting better and better and when comparing costs with the combustion engine, the electric car often has the edge.

However, despite subsidies, electric cars are still quite expensive and the charging network only knows one state: “Under construction”.

We therefore rummaged in the heise + fund and picked out the best articles on e-cars. We calculate the actual costs of an e-car and explain when the right time to buy is. We show what makes a good wallbox and where the material for the batteries comes from. Finally, the big comparison follows: electricity versus fuel. Are e-cars really cheaper? At the end there is a preview of the next big technology: hydrogen cars with fuel cells.
