EV vs. gas cost calculator
A year of charging at your state’s residential electricity price against a year of gasoline at this week’s price.
Gasoline per year—Electricity per year—Difference——
How it works
Gas cost = miles ÷ mpg × price. Charging cost = miles ÷ (miles per kWh) × price per kWh. The default electricity price is EIA’s average residential price for the state, which includes fees spread over all kWh sold; public fast chargers usually charge more per kWh, so enter their price if you rely on them. Charging losses vary by charger; you can fold them in by lowering miles per kWh.
