EV Break-Even Calculator
Estimate how many years energy savings could take to recover a higher EV purchase price.

Open calculatorMotoringCalcs UK is designed around the figures UK drivers actually use: miles, imperial MPG, pence per litre and pence per kWh. Calculations run in your browser and do not require a paid route or fuel-price API.
For the most accurate result, use your vehicle's real-world MPG or miles-per-kWh figure and the current price you actually pay for petrol, diesel or electricity.
