Annual mileage: 10,000 miles
Home electricity: 26.1p/kWh
Public electricity: 65p/kWh
Home charging: 80%
Petrol: 161.6p/litre
Diesel: 182.8p/litre

EV costs use a blend of home and public charging. Fuel costs use UK MPG and exactly 4.54609 litres per imperial gallon. Mild, full and series hybrids are non-plug-in petrol hybrids and use the petrol price.

Results are estimates based on stated vehicle efficiencies and entered prices. They exclude purchase price, depreciation, insurance, servicing, tax, financing, charging losses, seasonal variation and weather.
