Frequently Asked Questions
How much cheaper is it to drive an EV compared to a gas car?
On average, driving an EV costs about $0.04 per mile (at $0.14/kWh and 3.5 mi/kWh), while a gas car costs about $0.14 per mile (at $3.50/gal and 25 MPG). That's roughly 70% cheaper per mile, saving over $1,200 per year for the average driver.
What is EV efficiency in miles per kWh?
EV efficiency is measured in miles per kWh (mi/kWh). Most modern EVs get between 3-4 mi/kWh. Smaller EVs like the Chevy Bolt get about 4 mi/kWh, while larger SUVs like the Tesla Model X get about 2.8 mi/kWh.
Does this include EV maintenance savings?
This calculator only compares fuel costs. EVs also save significantly on maintenance since they have fewer moving parts, no oil changes, less brake wear (due to regenerative braking), and no transmission service. Total maintenance savings are typically $500-1,000 per year.
