How this is calculated
EV cost = miles ÷ miles per kWh × charging price. Gas cost = miles ÷ mpg × gas price. Charging losses of around 10% are added to the EV side.
Frequently asked questions
What about maintenance?
EVs need no oil changes and brakes last longer, which typically saves a few hundred dollars a year on top of fuel.
What if I only fast-charge?
Public DC fast charging often costs $0.40–0.60 per kWh, which can erase most of the fuel savings.
