- It's easy to compare operating costs of electric vs gas. For both the Prius Prime and Rav4 Prime running on electricity is ~25% cheaper than running on gas. (Running on gas can be cheaper if it drops to $2/gal, but that doesn't happen often. Spreadsheets available <grin>) For a deeper and more complex comparison, watch Jason Fenske's (aka Engineering Explained) "Is A Toyota SUV "Greener" Than A Tesla?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEqxaH47DTs
