This is an estimate, not a bill

Every number on this site is an estimate produced from published average data and the assumptions shown on the page. It is not a quote, not a prediction of your next electricity or fuel bill, and not financial, legal, tax, or engineering advice.

What the numbers depend on

Your real-world cost varies with things we cannot know about you, including:

  • Your utility's specific tariff, including time-of-use windows, tiers, fixed charges, and taxes
  • Whether you are on a special EV or off-peak rate plan
  • Outdoor temperature and season (cold weather reduces efficiency and increases consumption)
  • Your driving style, speed, terrain, and payload
  • Battery condition and age, and charger efficiency losses
  • The specific pricing, idle fees, and subscription terms of any public charging network
  • Local fuel prices if you are comparing against a petrol or diesel vehicle

Treat our output as a starting point for comparison, not as a number to budget against.

Where our data comes from

We compile figures from public sources, including data published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and fueleconomy.gov, and publicly published charging-network pricing pages.

Each page shows when its rates were last updated. We do not claim the data is real-time, and we do not claim our output is exact or "100% accurate".

Vehicles, brands and trademarks

Vehicle makes and models are named so you can tell which vehicle a calculation refers to. That is descriptive use of those names.

Where a page discusses a particular manufacturer's vehicles, it carries an express statement that this site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by that manufacturer.

All vehicle makes, models, and brand names are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective owners. We do not use manufacturer logos or official brand imagery.

Where we link to third-party sites — including retailers, insurers, or charging-equipment sellers — we do not control them and are not responsible for their content, pricing, or practices.

If and when affiliate links appear, we will disclose that on the same page, above the first such link, and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Our commission relationships never affect the estimates the calculator produces.

No professional relationship

Using this site does not create a professional, advisory, or fiduciary relationship between you and [OPERATING ENTITY].

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, this site or its output. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Regulatory and incentive information

If a page mentions tax credits, rebates, or incentives, that information is general and may be out of date. Government programmes change; eligibility depends on your circumstances. Verify current rules with the relevant authority before making a decision.

Nothing on this site is legal advice. The legal and policy pages on this site describe how we handle things; they do not advise you on your own obligations.
