EV vs Petrol Scooter Cost Calculation Method

This calculator provides estimates based on the values you enter. Actual costs can vary depending on riding style, traffic, weather, tyre pressure, battery condition, electricity tariff, petrol price and vehicle efficiency.

Petrol cost/km: Petrol price ÷ petrol mileage.
EV charging cost/km: Battery capacity × charging-loss factor × electricity rate ÷ practical range.
Running saving: Petrol running cost − EV charging cost.
Net annual saving: Running saving × annual kilometres + petrol maintenance − EV maintenance.
Estimated break-even: Extra EV purchase price ÷ positive annual operating saving.
