The EV vs petrol debate comes down to total cost of ownership, not just the sticker price. While electric vehicles typically cost $5,000-$12,000 more upfront than their petrol equivalents, they save money in three key areas: fuel, maintenance, and increasingly, insurance.
Our calculator compares both vehicles across five cost categories over your ownership period: purchase price (after incentives), fuel/electricity costs, routine maintenance, insurance premiums, and depreciation. According to fueleconomy.gov, the average EV driver saves $800-$1,500 per year on fuel alone compared to a petrol equivalent.
