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. In a three-month side-by-side comparison, a 2019 Toyota Camry owner tracked every dollar spent on fuel against a carpooling Tesla Model 3 owner's electricity costs. The Camry cost $1,520 in gas over 12,400 miles that year, while the Model 3 owner spent just $410 charging at home. That $1,100 difference shows the math is real — but only if you have home charging.
