Not going to find a "ton" of savings. Although for plugging in... direct fuel cost should be cut in half or more on the electric miles.
Hybrid does not save on service.
Comparisons I see are ICE vs pure EV and over time the EV can win. Still not a ton of savings. Initial price tends to be the hurdle. Used EVs do seem to come at an especially good price.
Many people fall in love with the smooth quiet effortless electric miles and move to a pure EV. Plenty others see just one more level of complexity, no savings and go back to ICE.
I think the savings thing kinda depends where you are. If you live where gas is cheap and power is expensive the savings could be very little. Where we live gas is expensive and power is cheap. Commuting by EV is about an 1/8th of the cost of gas here.
At this point generally speaking it’s hard to justify buying an EV from the annual saving point of view. At least in my opinion.
