What would going electric cost you?

Compare what you run now with an electric vehicle, for one car or a whole fleet. We've filled in our assumptions, and you can change them.

Current vehicle: brand Current vehicle: model Electric vehicle: brand Electric vehicle: model Km a day Number of vehicles Usual load Diesel price, $/L Fuel use, L/100 km Charging from Grid power, c/kWh Solar and battery, c/kWh

These are rough estimates to help you compare. Your real costs will be different and savings aren't guaranteed. Insurance figures are indicative, so get a real quote. Tax and finance interest aren't included. Any demand charge is shown in the power bill section.

How far will it go?

A heavier payload and higher speeds use more power, so real range is usually below the advertised figure.

Load	Mixed driving (town and suburbs)	Highway (100 km/h)

Our estimate, not the maker's figure. Advertised range uses the WLTP lab test, which carries only part of the payload. Hills, hot days, towing and an older battery will reduce it.

Yearly costs for one vehicle, using your km and the numbers above. Servicing and insurance are indicative figures by vehicle type, not quotes for that model. "Less" means at least 10% less than what you drive now.

Can my site charge them?

Your site supply limits how many chargers you can run. This gives you a first answer. Driving one car and charging at home? You can skip this part and send a home charger enquiry.

A first guide only. A licensed electrician and your local power network need to confirm it. We plan and manage the project, and licensed partners do the installation.

What happens to my power bill?

You'll pay for the power you use. Many larger sites also pay a demand charge, set by their highest half hour in the peak price window. If the whole fleet charges in that window, it can jump, so timing matters.

Terms explained

kW and kWh: kW is how fast power flows. kWh is how much energy you use.
Payload: How much weight the vehicle can carry, including people and tools.
WLTP: The standard lab test behind most advertised range figures.
GVM: The most a vehicle can legally weigh when loaded. Above 4.5 tonnes, drivers need a Light Rigid licence.
Demand charge: A fee on many larger business bills, based on your highest half hour in the peak price window rather than your total use. It's usually billed in kVA, which is close to kW.
Load management: Chargers share the available power, so your site doesn't go over its limit.
Depreciation and charger: What the vehicle loses in value each year, plus the charger, spread over the years you keep it.
