How to read these numbers
- This calculator covers fuel costs only — not purchase price, insurance, maintenance, or depreciation.
- EV maintenance is typically 30–40% cheaper than petrol due to fewer moving parts and no oil changes.
- The CO₂ comparison uses your grid intensity for the EV side. Charging from solar makes the EV advantage even larger.
- Fuel prices vary. Use your own pump price for the most accurate result.
