Prices are as checked on the date on each vehicle page, and move often. Some are before on-road costs and some drive-away, so confirm with the dealer. All-in a year assumes 40 km a day, 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year, 25c/kWh power, and depreciation and a $2,500 home charger over 5 years. Use your own numbers.
Before you buy
- Check your daily km. Most drivers charge at home overnight, so the advertised range only matters on long trips.
- Work out where you will charge. See choosing a home charger and public networks.
- Run your own numbers. Each vehicle page shows a yearly cost you can change.
