How the EV savings calculator works

Enter how far you drive, your car’s efficiency and your local fuel and electricity prices. The calculator works out what you spend on fuel, what the same distance would cost in electricity, and the difference per year.

Tips to get a realistic result

  • Use your real-world km per litre, not the brochure number.
  • Home charging is usually cheaper than public fast charging. Use a blended price if you use both.
  • Add the extra purchase price of the EV to see how long it takes to pay back.
  • Incentives and taxes differ by country and state, so check the current rules where you live.

Is this calculator accurate?

It is an estimate based only on the numbers you enter. Real costs change with driving style, weather, battery health and price changes.

Does it include government incentives?

No. Incentives change often and differ by location, so they are not included. Add any purchase discount by lowering the extra price field.

Can I use it for a hybrid?

Not directly. It compares a fuel car with a fully electric car.
