EV Charging Cost vs Gas Calculator
Compare EV charging costs with gasoline costs, losses, charging mix, and annual savings.
How to Use
- Enter trip distance, EV efficiency, charging prices and losses, then gasoline efficiency and price. Add annual distance for annual savings.
Assumptions and Limits
Actual energy use changes with weather, speed, driving style, tariffs, vehicle, and charging-network fees.
Method
EV meter energy includes charging loss; each vehicle's energy or fuel use is multiplied by its applicable price.
Examples
Example
A 100 km trip at 18 kWh/100 km compared with an 8 L/100 km gasoline vehicle.
Result: The calculator updates its results immediately from these inputs.
Frequently Asked Questions
