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
BMW i4
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: BMW i4 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
BMW i4 eDrive40 Gran Coupe
Best for buyers who want an EV that still feels like a polished premium sedan first and a tech object second.
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.
