Calculator notes
- Does not include depreciation, registration, or insurance — these vary significantly by vehicle.
- If you have solar panels, your effective EV charging rate may be much lower than the grid rate.
- Petrol prices and electricity rates will change over the ownership period.
- Break-even assumes the price premium is the only additional upfront cost.
