EV vs Petrol Cost Calculator UK | Compare Running Costs | Woodson Cars
Stop guessing your running costs. Start comparing them.
Think electric cars are expensive to run?
The reality is very different.
Charge an EV overnight from as little as £5–£6
Fill a petrol or diesel car can easily exceed £80
That’s roughly:
• Around 2p per mile in an EV
• Around 12–14p per mile in petrol or diesel
Potential saving: over £1,500 per year depending on your mileage.
We’ve built a simple tool so you can see the real numbers based on your driving.
