Calculate how much you'll save on fuel and maintenance by switching to a Tesla. No oil changes, cheaper electricity, and fewer repairs.
We'll use the right units and prices for your region
⛽ Fuel Savings: We compare your gas car's fuel cost (based on your MPG and local gas prices) with Tesla's charging costs. Tesla efficiency averages 4.0 mi/kWh (6.4 km/kWh in Canada). We account for 80% home charging at your electricity rate and 20% public fast charging at higher rates ($0.45-0.50/kWh).
🔧 Maintenance Savings: Gas cars cost $650-750/year for maintenance (oil changes, air filters, transmission service, brake work, spark plugs). Teslas cost only $150-180/year (tire rotations, cabin filter, brake fluid every 2 years). That's $500-600/year in savings with no oil changes!
💰 Total Annual Savings: We add your fuel savings and maintenance savings to show how much you'll save each year. Multiply by 5 or 10 years to see your long-term savings.
Note: This calculator focuses on operating cost savings (fuel + maintenance). It does not include purchase price, insurance differences, or government incentives. For the simplest comparison, we show you how much less it costs to drive and maintain a Tesla each year.
