About Automotive Calculators

Our automotive calculators help you make informed decisions about vehicle ownership. They give you the data to consider an electric vehicle, choose between buying and leasing, or track your carbon footprint.

The EV vs Gas calculator accounts for purchase price, fuel/electricity costs, maintenance, insurance, and available tax credits to give you a complete picture of ownership costs over time.

Key Considerations When Comparing Vehicles

  • Total Cost of Ownership: Include purchase price, fuel, maintenance, insurance, and depreciation
  • EV Tax Credits: Federal credits up to $7,500 (US) can significantly reduce EV purchase costs
  • Electricity Rates: Home charging is typically 3-4x cheaper than public fast charging
  • Maintenance Savings: EVs have fewer moving parts, resulting in lower maintenance costs
  • Break-Even Point: The time it takes for an EV's lower operating costs to offset its higher purchase price

Note: Actual costs vary based on your location, driving habits, electricity rates, and specific vehicle models. Use these calculators as a starting point for your research.
