Compare what an electric car and a petrol car really cost to drive. Enter your local electricity and petrol prices to see the cost per km, the yearly bill and how much you save by going electric.
Type your electricity price per kWh and petrol price per litre, then pick your currency. Use your latest bill and the pump price for accuracy.
Enter the EV's consumption (kWh/100km), the petrol car's use (L/100km) and how far you drive each year.
See the cost per km and per year for each car, plus how much an EV saves you annually.
Running cost isn't fixed — it moves with prices and how you charge. The biggest levers:
Charging at home overnight is far cheaper than public fast charging, which can erase much of the saving.
Cheap electricity and pricey petrol make EVs win big; the gap narrows where power is expensive.
The more kilometres per year, the faster an EV's lower per-km cost pays off.
Cold weather, motorways and a heavy right foot raise consumption for both cars.
