Frequently Asked Questions

Is it cheaper to drive an electric car than a gasoline car?

In most countries yes. Home charging electricity rates are typically far lower per kilometer than gasoline, diesel, or LPG, so EV owners who mostly charge at home usually see significant per-100km and monthly savings. The exact amount depends on your vehicle's efficiency, your local electricity tariffs, and how much you rely on fast charging versus home charging.

How much can I save per month switching to an electric vehicle?

Monthly savings depend on your driving distance, vehicle consumption, and local fuel and electricity prices. Use the calculator above with your own numbers and monthly kilometers to get an accurate, personalized monthly and annual savings estimate.

Does charging loss affect EV running costs?

Yes. Charging loss accounts for energy lost as heat during charging, so the electricity you pay for is slightly more than what actually reaches the battery. This calculator lets you adjust the charging loss percentage so your cost estimate reflects real-world efficiency rather than the vehicle's rated consumption alone.
