Frequently asked questions

Are EVs really cheaper to own?

It depends on vehicle prices, driving, local energy rates and other costs. This tool compares purchase price plus energy and calculates a simple energy-savings payback when applicable. It is not a full ownership-cost comparison; use the ownership tool for other costs.

Are tax credits included?

Only incentives you enter in the verified incentives field are included. No federal or state credits are applied automatically, and the tool does not determine eligibility. Confirm current availability before entering an amount.

What if I don’t drive very much?

Lower mileage reduces the impact of differences in energy costs. Adjust annual mileage to see how the comparison and simple payback change.
