Transparent inputs for a useful first estimate.

Monthly EV energy use equals monthly miles divided by the selected model's miles-per-kWh efficiency. Home charging cost equals that energy use multiplied by the selected state's estimated residential electricity rate. A 20% to 80% session uses 60% of the stated battery capacity.

The comparison uses a 27 MPG reference gasoline vehicle and an estimated state gasoline price. It is intended to isolate energy cost; it does not model vehicle price, insurance, financing, depreciation, charging losses, parking, registration, or every maintenance item.

State electricity and gasoline figures are rounded planning averages informed by public energy-market reporting, including EIA-style residential rate and motor-fuel data. Vehicle battery and efficiency figures are representative configurations. Incentive summaries are directional descriptions of commonly cited federal and state programs and should be verified with the IRS, state agency, utility, or program administrator before purchase.

Rates and program terms can change without notice. Actual charging cost can differ by utility, tariff, season, time of day, charging network, vehicle, weather, and driving conditions. VoltSaga does not determine credit eligibility or calculate a tax liability.
