Electric vs Gas Car: Which Is Cheaper to Run?
Enter the price and consumption of each type of car to compare the cost per km.
Compares the cost per kilometer of the two ways of fueling up — fuel per liter/gallon or electricity per kWh — and shows the total savings over the distance you enter.
Fill in the fields to compare both.
Compares only the cost of fueling up (fuel or electricity) — it doesn't include the purchase price difference, maintenance, insurance or depreciation between the two types of car, which also factor into the full picture.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I find my electric car's consumption?
In the vehicle's manual or the car's app, which usually shows range and average energy consumption. You can also calculate it by dividing the distance traveled by the energy consumed (kWh) between two charges.
Does charging at home vs. a public station change the math?
Yes, quite a bit. Charging at home is usually cheaper per kWh than at a public fast-charging station — redo the calculation with the real price of wherever you charge most of the time.
Does this calculation account for the car's purchase price?
No, only the cost of fueling up. Electric cars tend to have a higher purchase price but cheaper maintenance — the full picture of which one pays off depends on how many kilometers you drive per year.
