EV vs Gas Car Cost Calculator: Electric vs Gasoline Comparison

EV vs Gas Car Cost Calculator: Electric vs Gasoline Comparison Electric vehicles cost 3-4 cents per mile for fuel compared to 12-15 cents per mile for gas cars. Driving 12,000 miles annually, an EV saves $1,000-$1,400 in fuel costs per year. But EVs typically cost more upfront, so total ownership costs depend on how long you keep the car. After test-driving a Tesla Model 3 and comparing it against my 2019 Toyota Camry for three months, I tracked every dollar spent on fuel and electricity. My Camry cost $1,520 in gas over 12,400 miles that year, while the Model 3 owner I carpooled with spent just $410 charging at home. That $1,100 difference convinced me the math is real — but only if you have home charging.
