EV Break-Even
Estimate how long energy savings may take to recover a higher EV purchase price.
Open calculator →Compare running costs, fuel versus EV energy, keep-versus-change scenarios and whole-car operating costs.

Start with the question you actually have. This table sends you to the narrowest tool first, so you do not need to work through unrelated inputs.
| If your question is… | Start here |
|---|---|
| You want a broad two-car cost comparison | Real Running Cost Comparator |
| You are deciding whether to keep or change | Keep vs Change Car |
| You are comparing petrol and EV energy cost | Petrol vs EV |
| You want annual fuel spend | Annual Fuel Cost |
| You want pence per mile | Fuel Cost Per Mile |
| You want to compare annual fuel savings | Fuel Savings |
A useful ownership comparison avoids double-counting costs that are the same in both options. Enter your own fuel, electricity, mileage, insurance, maintenance and depreciation assumptions where the tool asks for them.

Estimate how long energy savings may take to recover a higher EV purchase price.
Open calculator →Compare energy, tax, insurance, servicing and depreciation side by side.
Open calculator →Compare keeping your current car with changing over the same ownership period.
Open calculator →Compare petrol fuel cost and EV electricity cost over the same annual mileage.
Open calculator →MotoringCalcs separates defined conversions from scenario estimates. Exact unit relationships use direct arithmetic. Where a result depends on assumptions — such as drivetrain difference, real-world efficiency or future cost — the assumption is visible and editable rather than silently fixed.
Inputs remain in your browser and the tools do not require an account. Where manufacturer specifications, measured vehicle data or your actual tariff are available, use those values in preference to generic example inputs.
These tools are for calculation, comparison and planning. They do not replace manufacturer guidance, inspection or professional engineering advice where safety or fitment is involved.
