How do I compare electricity and fuel costs?
Use your own mileage and tariffs in the Electric hub calculator.
Open the Electric hub and find the energy calculator. Enter a distance covering the same period for both vehicles, electric consumption, electricity price, additional charging energy, fuel consumption and price per litre. Starting values are examples; replace them with values relevant to you.
Results update when you change the inputs. The difference is fuel cost minus electricity cost. A negative result means fuel costs less under the assumptions you entered.
This compares energy only. Vehicle purchase, depreciation, finance, insurance, servicing, tyres, charger installation and additional charging-session fees are outside the calculation.
