Frequently asked questions
What costs does the calculator compare?
Energy or fuel costs, annual fixed costs and the purchase price difference entered.
Are residual values taken into account?
No. Residual values and resale can significantly change the comparison in practice.
Why is the purchase price difference important?
A cheap operation is of little use if entry is significantly more expensive.
Can I include wallbox or subsidies?
Not directly. However, you can approximate such amounts using the fixed costs or the purchase price difference.
Is the computer also suitable for hybrids?
Only limited. For hybrids you would have to manually estimate some of the cost on either side.
