Personal EV vs Gas Car TCO & Commute Comparator
Deterministic multi-powertrain Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), break-even, and emissions comparator across EV, hybrid, and internal combustion vehicles.
How the EV vs Petrol / Diesel / Hybrid / PHEV Comparator Works
Compare multi-year Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), break-even mileage/years, and operational versus lifecycle emissions across BEV, PHEV, conventional Hybrid (HEV), Petrol, and Diesel vehicles using curated models or complete manual specifications.
Charging Loss Accounting, PHEV Utility Splits & Tailpipe vs. Lifecycle Boundaries
Wall-to-battery EV charging losses are applied exactly once, PHEV trips partition electric vs fuel shares transparently, vehicle purchase financing/depreciation/insurance stays itemized, and tailpipe gCO2/km is never mixed unlabeled into cradle-to-grave battery manufacturing figures.
Requires only numeric commute and tariff assumptions; no license plate, VIN, or personal financing records are requested.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why distinguish tailpipe emissions from lifecycle emissions on electric cars?
BEVs produce zero tailpipe exhaust, but upstream grid electricity generation and battery manufacturing add lifecycle CO2e that vary by regional grid carbon intensity and lifetime distance.
Can I compare custom local vehicles unavailable in the catalogue?
Yes. Full manual specification entry is built-in as a primary workflow covering local prices, real-world efficiency, home vs public charging mix, and maintenance assumptions.
