How to Use EV Charging vs Gas Cost Calculator
EV Charging vs Gas Cost Calculator Formula / How It Works
The EV Cost Calculator computes total annual electricity consumption by dividing annual miles by 100 and multiplying by the kWh efficiency factor. That result is multiplied by your local electric utility rate. Gas expenditure is calculated by dividing annual miles by MPG and multiplying by gasoline price. The tool then calculates net savings, percentage reductions, and cost per mile metrics instantly client-side.
Frequently Asked Questions
It estimates and compares the total cost of ownership for an electric vehicle (EV) versus a gasoline car, including purchase price, fuel/electricity costs, maintenance, tax credits, and insurance over a specified ownership period.
Enter your local electricity rate (cost per kWh) and the vehicle's energy consumption (miles per kWh or kWh per 100 miles). The calculator computes your estimated annual charging cost based on your entered annual mileage.
Yes. You can enter the applicable federal tax credit (up to $7,500 for new EVs under the Inflation Reduction Act, as of 2024) and any state incentives to see their impact on total cost. Eligibility depends on income limits and vehicle MSRP — verify your eligibility at fueleconomy.gov.
Results are estimates based on the inputs you provide. Real-world costs vary with driving habits, electricity rate plans (time-of-use pricing), gasoline price fluctuations, actual vehicle efficiency, and maintenance needs. Use it for directional comparison, not an exact forecast.
