ECIU Says EVs Save £1,350 a Year… Their Example Costs £1,668 MORE — They’re £3,000 Wrong!
#ElectricCars #EVTruth #carfinanceuk
I’ve been using the Hilo blood pressure monitor for years — and it has genuinely helped me control and lower my blood pressure.
Now it’s had a major upgrade.
It doesn’t just monitor blood pressure 24/7…
It now tracks:
✔ Sleep
✔ Steps
✔ Activity
All inside the same bracelet.
For me, the biggest advantage has always been:
• Continuous blood pressure monitoring
• No “white coat syndrome” readings
• Real-world data instead of snapshot readings
And now having sleep and step tracking built into the same app just makes it even more useful.

There is a monthly subscription, so check the pricing before you commit.
As always — this isn’t medical advice. Just my honest experience.
The ECIU claims you can save up to £1,350 a year by switching to an EV.
Sounds great… until you actually run the numbers.
In this video, I take THEIR OWN example — the Skoda Enyaq vs Skoda Kodiaq — and break it down properly.
And what do we find?
Not only does the EV NOT save money…
It actually costs £1,668 MORE per year.
Which means the ECIU aren’t just a bit off…
They’re over £3,000 a year wrong.
And thats only charging for Petrol Usage at todays price and pretending that ELECTRIC is FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So how did they get it so wrong?
Are these comparisons even fair?
And why do these “EV savings” claims keep falling apart under scrutiny?
Let’s go through it step by step.
