EV vs Gas Car Cost Calculator
Compare the running cost of an electric car versus a gas car, including fuel, maintenance and purchase price premium.
Frequently asked questions
- What maintenance savings should I assume?
- EVs skip oil changes, spark plugs, transmission service and most brake work. $400β$800 per year is a reasonable planning range.
- Does charging at home vs public change things?
- A lot. Home charging at $0.15/kWh is roughly a quarter of public fast-charging prices β this calculator assumes home charging.
- What about battery replacement?
- Most EVs keep 70β80% capacity past 100,000 miles, and replacement is rare within a typical ownership window.
