Residential Charging
Most EV owners charge at home, which is significantly cheaper than public fast charging.
Resale Value
Resale values for EVs vary, but battery health is a key factor in long-term value.
Maintenance Benefits
No oil changes, fewer moving parts, and longer-lasting brakes due to regenerative braking.

Use Cases
Deciding between an EV and a gas car
Use this calculator to compare the total 5-year ownership costs of an electric vehicle versus a traditional gas-powered car, helping you make an informed financial decision.
Example: Compare a $35,000 EV with a $25,000 gas car, factoring in your local gas and electricity prices.
Evaluating the impact of EV incentives
See how federal or state incentives can reduce the effective purchase price of an EV and shorten the time it takes to break even on your investment.
Example: Enter a $7,500 incentive to see how it affects your total 5-year savings.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the EV vs Gas Car Cost Calculator determine the break-even point?
- The calculator compares the total cost of owning an EV versus a gas car over 5 years. It factors in purchase prices, fuel costs (based on your miles per year, gas price, MPG, electricity rate, and EV efficiency), maintenance costs, and EV incentives. The break-even point is when the cumulative savings from the EV offset its higher upfront cost.
- What inputs do I need to use this calculator?
- You'll need your annual miles driven, local gas price, your gas car's MPG, your electricity rate, your EV's efficiency (mi/kWh), the purchase prices of both cars, any EV incentives, and estimated annual maintenance costs for both vehicles.
- Does the calculator include the cost of home charging installation?
- No, the calculator only uses the fields provided: miles per year, gas price, MPG, electricity rate, EV efficiency, car prices, EV incentives, and maintenance costs. It does not include home charger installation or other additional costs.
Tips & Common Mistakes
Tips
- Use your actual annual mileage – the more you drive, the faster an EV can pay off in fuel savings.
- Check your local electricity rate and gas price, as these vary significantly and directly impact the comparison.
- Include realistic maintenance costs – EVs typically have lower maintenance, but it's good to use your own estimates.
- Remember to subtract any EV incentives you qualify for, as they reduce the upfront cost difference.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Forgetting to include EV incentives, which can significantly lower the effective purchase price of an EV.
- Using an inaccurate electricity rate – your actual rate may differ from the national average, so check your bill.
- Overlooking the difference in maintenance costs – EVs often have lower maintenance, but it's important to use realistic numbers.
