The latest research by analysts at Deloitte suggests that price parity with internal combustion cars is likely by 2021.
'In the UK, the cost of petrol and diesel vehicle ownership will converge with electric over the next five years,' predicts Michael Woodward, UK automotive partner at Deloitte.
'Supported by existing government subsidies and technology advances, this tipping point could be reached as early as 2021.
From this point, cost will no longer be a barrier to purchase, and owning an EV will become a realistic, viable option for new buyers.'
Look past the currently steeper initial purchase price, and rich savings beckon from the moment you buy an electric car.
Your ongoing fuel bills are likely to be dramatically lower if you take the plunge and go for an EV and you'll likely never have to visit a petrol forecourt again.
You can even charge up your electric car wirelessly now; BMW launched inductive charging in 2018.

Like any fossil-fuel powered car, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) come in all shapes and sizes, and which EV is best for you will depend on a variety of factors.
You’ll need proper access to charging points at work and/or home, so you can top up your battery enough to meet your typical daily range.
There's no point having the hardware if you don't have the infrastructure to support it.
Sales of electrified cars in the UK rose 21% in 2018 and automotive researchers at Sophus3 concluded that electric cars are now the fourth most searched-for category online.
Research for leading Youtube channel The Fully Charged show suggests that only 5% of electric car drivers would go back to a fossil-fuelled car once they've owned an EV.
Of the 7700 people polled, the biggest stumbling block to purchase was higher list prices.
But once you experience the delights of an EV, the chances are you'll be hooked by the saintly silence, clean conscience and lower running costs.
