Gas energy per mile$0.117
This compares propulsion energy only. Purchase price, depreciation, financing, insurance, maintenance, charging hardware, public-network fees, taxes, and incentives are excluded.Annual miles × each vehicle’s energy cost per mile.
The EV side includes charging loss between the grid and battery. This is intentionally an energy-only comparison; use the ownership-cost tools for depreciation and other annual expenses.
