While EVs and their gas-powered counterparts may look nearly identical on the surface, the costs to charge and fuel them could not be more different.
This tool lets you compare the per-mile cost of gas-powered and electric vehicles, using up-to-date electricity rates and average gas prices across all 50 states. By entering your annual mileage, you can instantly see how much you'll save over time.
Use the calculator below to see how the cost of driving an electric vehicle compares to a gas-powered equivalent:
| Electric | Gas | |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle | — | — |
| Cost / kWh | — | N/A |
| Cost / Gallon | N/A | — |
| Efficiency | — | — |
| Cost / 100 miles | — | — |
| Total Cost / Mile | — | — |
| Total Annual Cost | — | — |
| Annual Savings | — | — |

Gasoline prices are sourced from AAA's daily national and state-level average regular gasoline prices. Electricity rates come from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) state-level residential electricity prices.
Vehicle efficiency data (kWh/100 miles for EVs and gallons/100 miles for gas vehicles) comes from the EPA's fuel economy ratings. The calculator assumes 80% of EV charging is done at home using residential electricity rates.
Annual costs are calculated by multiplying the cost per mile by the user's selected annual mileage. Savings represent the difference between gas and electric fueling costs only and do not include vehicle purchase price, insurance, or maintenance.
