Compare the cost per kilometer of electric vehicles versus petrol cars. Calculate fuel savings and total running costs.
How it works: This calculator compares the per-km cost of electric vehicles versus petrol cars. It factors in fuel/electricity prices, consumption rates, and battery capacity. Results show cost per km and total expenses. Note: This is fuel/electricity cost only; doesn't include maintenance, insurance, or depreciation.
Per-kilometer cost of EVs is typically 40-60% cheaper than petrol cars. However, factors like higher upfront cost, battery replacement, and driving patterns affect total cost of ownership. This calculator focuses on fuel/electricity costs only.
For petrol cars: typical sedans get 12-16 km/l, SUVs get 8-12 km/l. For accurate values, check your vehicle's specifications. Current petrol prices vary by location; use your local rates.
Check your EV's energy consumption (kWh per 100 km) and divide by local electricity rate. For example: if consumption is 15 kWh per 100 km with electricity at ₹8/kWh, cost is ₹1.2 per km, so efficiency is about 0.83 km per rupee.
Battery replacement is a major cost for EVs (₹3-8 lakhs). This calculator focuses on fuel costs. For total cost of ownership, add battery replacement amortized over the years.
This calculator covers fuel/electricity only. Also factor in: vehicle price, registration, insurance, maintenance, repairs, depreciation, and toll roads. Get complete information for a funded decision.
