Electric versus gasoline: energy cost per mile

Monthly energy cost

Electric$45.71
Gasoline$116.67

Energy only. Purchase price, maintenance, and other expenses are not included.

Fewer moving parts

Electric drivetrains skip oil changes, spark plugs, timing belts, and exhaust repairs. Tires, brakes, wipers, and cabin filters still need attention.

Energy is priced differently

Gasoline is bought by the gallon at the pump. Electricity is billed by the kWh, and home rates are often lower than public fast-charging prices.

Driving style matters for both

Highway speed, climate control, and cargo affect efficiency in any vehicle. EVs tend to be most efficient in city driving thanks to regenerative braking.
