Estimates only

CompareCarCosts is a free, informational tool that estimates and compares the total cost of ownership (TCO) of electric vehicles versus petrol and diesel vehicles. Every figure it produces is an estimate, generated from the inputs you provide and from general assumptions. It is not a quote, a guarantee, or a statement of the actual cost you will incur.

Not financial, tax, or purchasing advice

Nothing on this Site constitutes financial, tax, legal, insurance, or purchasing advice, and it should not be treated as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional. Before making any purchase or financial decision, you should do your own research and seek independent professional advice suited to your circumstances.

Methodology and limitations

Our calculations rely on simplifying assumptions and on the values you enter. A cost estimate can be affected by many variables that are difficult to predict or that change over time, including:

• purchase prices, taxes, registration fees, and available incentives or grants;
• electricity and fuel prices, and how and where you charge or refuel;
• your annual mileage, driving style, and local conditions;
• insurance, maintenance, repairs, and tyre costs;
• financing terms, interest rates, and resale or depreciation values; and
• regional differences and future market or regulatory changes.

Because of these factors, your real-world costs may differ significantly from the estimates shown.

Data sources and accuracy

Where the tool uses default or sample data (for example, typical prices or consumption figures), that data is drawn from general and publicly available sources and is provided for illustration. We do not warrant that any data, default value, or estimate is accurate, complete, or current, and such figures may be out of date. You should independently verify any figure before relying on it.
