How this calculation works
EV energy bill = km × EV kWh/100km ÷ 100 ÷ charging efficiency × electricity price/kWh. Petrol bill = km × L/100km ÷100 × fuel price/L.
Worked example
At 15,000 km/year, EV at 17 kWh/100km with 90% charging efficiency and price 0.20/kWh costs 566.67. Petrol at 7 L/100km and price 1.80/L costs 1,890.
