Electric Vehicle Savings Calculator Yields Promising Results for Potential EV Owners
The cost of driving an electric vehicle (EV) has long been a topic of discussion, particularly when it comes to potential savings. According to Josh Boone, executive director at Veloz, the industry group's mission is to rapidly accelerate EV adoption, and highlighting these benefits is key. While there are numerous factors that influence EV costs, a new calculator on ElectricForAll.org provides a straightforward way for consumers to estimate their potential fuel savings.
The calculator takes into account several variables: vehicle type, annual mileage, miles per gallon of the current gas-powered vehicle, average cost of gasoline in the area, and zip code. These inputs enable users to determine the estimated fuel savings amount, as well as total annual savings, which includes maintenance costs.
One notable advantage of EVs is their reduced need for routine maintenance. With fewer moving parts, EVs require less upkeep compared to traditional gas-powered vehicles. According to Boone, EV owners can expect significant savings in this department, particularly when it comes to oil filters, spark plugs, and tune-ups.
While the calculator provides a useful starting point for evaluating EV costs, there are several factors that influence potential savings, including driving distance and fuel efficiency. Nevertheless, with an estimated average annual savings of $2,000 per vehicle, the numbers certainly look promising.
