Running an EV instead of petrol
€1,998/yr
The €10,000 price difference is paid back in about 5.0 years at 20,000km a year.
Assumes night-rate home charging at €0.028/km; petrol €0.095/km (6L/100km at €1.58), diesel €0.089/km, hybrid €0.055/km. Motor tax uses Revenue's 2026 rates for the engine size entered, and maintenance uses industry averages. Public rapid charging costs several times the night rate, so a driver without a home charger will save considerably less than this.
