Frequently Asked Questions
Are electric vehicles cheaper to own than gas cars?▾
In most cases, yes. EVs have lower fuel costs (electricity vs gasoline), fewer maintenance needs (no oil changes, less brake wear), and may qualify for federal and state tax credits.
How do you calculate EV charging costs?▾
EV charging cost depends on your electricity rate ($/kWh) and the vehicle efficiency (miles per kWh). This calculator uses your local electricity rate and driving habits to estimate annual charging costs.
What tax credits are available for EVs?▾
The federal EV tax credit is up to $7,500 for new qualifying vehicles. Many states offer additional rebates. This calculator lets you factor in applicable credits to compare true costs.
