EV vs Petrol running cost calculator (UK)
Compare the real-world energy costs of an electric vehicle versus a petrol car using battery size, range, MPG and current UK prices.
It's difficult to make a direct comparison between electric and petrol vehicles because of the different ways they use energy and the variety of charging options available for EVs.
This tool aims to simplify that comparison and allows you to adjust key variables to see how they impact the results.
How this calculator works
Petrol costs are calculated from fuel price and MPG. EV costs are estimated from battery size, real-world range and a mix of home and public charging prices.
The default values are based on UK averages, but you can adjust all inputs to reflect your own vehicle and charging habits to make the results more relevant to you.
