Frequently Asked Questions — EV Charging vs Gas

How do you calculate EV vs Gas 15,000 Miles/Yr (Annual Savings Driving 15,000 Miles/Year)?
Driving 15,000 miles/year in an EV averaging 3.6 mi/kWh at $0.15/kWh home Level 2 charging costs $625/year in electricity versus $1,875/year for a 28 MPG gas car—saving $1,250/year. You can also open our dedicated guide (EV vs Gas 15,000 Miles/Yr) or click the preset buttons above to test this exact configuration interactively.
How do Annual Miles Driven and EV Efficiency (Miles per kWh - Avg = 3.5) interact in the EV Charging vs Gas calculation?
Using the baseline of 13,500 for Annual Miles Driven and 3.5 for EV Efficiency (Miles per kWh - Avg = 3.5), the calculator evaluates your exact physiological or project requirement. Use the benchmark table below to see how +/-25% and +/-50% adjustments shift the target.
Should I add a safety buffer to the EV Charging vs Gas estimate?
The calculator uses the standard formula (EV Annual Cost = (Miles / mi_per_kWh) × $/kWh; Gas Annual Cost = (Miles / MPG) × $/Gal) referenced from Mifflin-St Jeor Clinical Equation (ADA), International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN), ACI 318 Concrete Standards, ASHRAE Residential Cooling Load & NREL PVWatts Solar Model. For physical projects or daily planning, comparing the 100% baseline row against the 125% row in the Reference Table gives you an instant 25% safety margin.
