Frequently Asked Questions
Savings vary widely by region, driving habits and vehicle choice, but in the UK most drivers save £800–£1,500 per year on fuel alone after switching to home charging. US drivers typically save $1,000–$1,800 per year on gas, and Australian drivers save $600–$1,200. Use our country-specific calculators to get a personalised figure based on your actual mileage and local prices.
We update our default prices regularly — typically monthly — drawing from official sources including Ofgem (UK electricity), RAC Fuel Watch (UK petrol), NRMA (Australian fuel), and the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). Each calculator page shows a "last updated" date so you always know how fresh the data is. You can also enter your own prices for a more precise result.
Yes. Our EV vs petrol/gas calculators let you set a home charging percentage and a public/rapid charging rate separately, so you get an accurate blended cost if you can't always charge at home. Public charging costs can be 2–3× higher than home rates, which makes a significant difference to the savings calculation.
The break-even point — the number of years until total EV ownership costs fall below an equivalent petrol or gas car — depends on the price premium of the EV, your annual mileage and local fuel prices. Our Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) calculators compute this for you. In the UK, break-even is typically 3–6 years for a new EV bought outright at 2026 prices.
No — and that's exactly why we built separate calculators for each region. Fuel prices, electricity tariffs, government incentives, road tax rules and vehicle efficiency ratings all differ significantly between the UK, Australia and the US. Using a UK calculator for an Australian driver would give meaningless results. Select your country above for accurate, locally-priced calculations.
