EV vs fuel cost calculator
Energy cost only: electricity for the EV against petrol or diesel for a combustion car, over the same distance.
Questions
What does this comparison include?
Only the cost of electricity and fuel for the distance you enter. Purchase price, maintenance, tax, insurance and resale value are not part of it.
Which fuel consumption should I enter?
Your own car's average from the trip computer is best. The default is an official test figure for a comparable car, and real-world consumption is usually higher.
Which electricity price should I use?
The default is the household price. If you charge in public often, use the average from the charging cost calculator instead.
