Assumptions: UK imperial gallon = 4.54609 litres. EV electricity is increased to allow for the charging loss percentage you enter, and the home/public prices are blended by your charging mix. The monthly figure is the annual difference divided by 12. This tool excludes depreciation, repairs, charging subscriptions and installation. It is an estimate from your own figures, not financial advice.
Run the same numbers against a self-charging hybrid to see the middle ground.
