Inputs
Model your local ownership pattern.
Treat every money field as your own currency. This tool compares energy spend only.
Tool 01
See what an EV could cost you to run each year.
Use your own electricity prices, fuel price, charging mix, and yearly distance. This estimate focuses on energy spend only so it stays fast, simple, and easy to compare.
Result
Volkswagen ID.4
Home-heavy charging mix
Blended electricity price 0.24 per kWh
7.4 L/100 km at 1.25 per litre
Positive means the EV is cheaper to run on energy.
Directional view before insurance, finance, and resale.
Buyer take: Volkswagen ID.4 stays cheaper to run on energy than a 7.4 L/100 km ICE under these inputs.
This scenario benefits from relatively predictable home or workplace charging, which is where EV cost advantage usually becomes clearer.
Selected EV profile
Volkswagen ID.4 Pro Performance
Best for buyers who want a practical EV family car without chasing the sharpest or flashiest option in the segment.
What this includes
Energy costs only, kept deliberately simple.
- EV usage is estimated from battery size, quoted range, and a real-world buffer.
- Charging cost is blended from your home or work share and your public-charging share.
- ICE cost uses litres per 100 km so the same model works globally.
- Purchase price, maintenance, insurance, and depreciation are outside this estimate.
