G'day — I've spent the last while building a small site of free EV cost
calculators with current Australian figures, and it went live this week


https://www.evcostscomparison.com


Seven tools: EV vs petrol running costs, home charging cost by tariff,
break-even (how long until an EV repays its higher purchase price), novated
lease with the FBT exemption, road trip costs and charging stops, solar
charging payback, and public charging network rates compared.


A few things I tried to do differently:


- Every formula is shown on the page — no black boxes
- No sign-up, no ads, no affiliate links, and the only analytics is cookieless page counting
- All the defaults are editable — the 2026 averages (25c/kWh mixed tariff, ~$1.90/L petrol, 16 kWh/100km etc.) are just a starting point
- It's honest about what it leaves out: depreciation, insurance and rego are deliberately excluded rather than guessed at


There are also US, UK, NZ, Canada and Ireland versions with local units and
prices if you've got mates overseas asking the same questions.


I'd honestly rather hear what's wrong than what's right — figures that look
stale, assumptions you disagree with, anything broken on your phone. You
folks watch tariffs and charging prices closer than anyone, so if my
defaults are off, tell me and I'll fix them.


Cheers
