The numbers presented under the "savings" headings in the table below are based on the average vehicle's MPG in the United States (see sources at the bottom of the page for where we got the number) Your savings WILL vary, which is why we allow you to put in your own data under the settings panels below so you know we aren't trying to pull any shenanigans.
Have you ever wondered how much you could save switching to an EV or hybrid? Are you concerned about the battery's carbon footprint? Are you questioning that sketchy meme that says it takes 10 trillion cubic feet of Unobtanium to make a battery? Well... You're in luck! We've created a calculator JUST FOR YOU! We even allow you to put in YOUR OWN INFO - just in case you think we're full of hot air (or something else... )!
Add vehicles below to compare your costs, carbon emissions, and other items. You can add Electric (EV), Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV), Hybrid (HEV) and standard Internal Combustion Engine (ICEV) vehicles.
We have taken the liberty to add some default values for you in the settings panels below based on our data sources (see bottom of page for these data sources). Click the settings panels to customize them to your liking. We'll be quiet now so you can start having fun.
Do it. You know you want to.
Yes, of course we were going to provide you with our sources... What do you think we are? Amateurs? WAIT!! Don't answer that.
