Our fuel cost comparator allows you to compare the fuel costs for a range of petrol, diesel and electric vehicles, to see how much an electric vehicle can save you, for example on a single journey, per year or for your contracted mileage. Just select the type of vehicle you’re interested in, enter the mileage you want to analyse, and the tool does the rest.

We even provide several different options for the cost of EV charging, so you can see the typical difference in cost you might expect between home, public AC, rapid and ultra-rapid charging options.
