Fuel vs Electric comparison calculator, to justify benefits of BEV

[MontyFloyd]

Looking for tools or web sites to calculate cost savings of BEV over fuel based autos.

Goal to show financial savings of BEV over time vs the higher cost for a BEV.

Maintenance costs over time also welcome, but not as important.

Thanks

It depends on what you are really looking for, but this should be a good start

Unfortunately, its useless for what I looking for.

This graph shows the cumulative cost of ownership by year for each vehicle, including fuel, tires, maintenance, registration, license, insurance, and loan payment. The tool assumes a five-year loan with a 10% down payment. Year one on the graph represents the 10 percent down payment plus the first year's total operating costs. For more information on this graph and other calculations

I only want instantaneous costs, and I do not see option to turn off those other features.

This page only good when buying a new car, on loan.

I have never purchased a car on load, always up front, in full, in cash. Getting a Tesla may be first time I ever get a car loan.

I also question the maintenance costs in that web site, almost as much as a gas car.

You mean this (fill in your numbers)?

ICE: $3 per gallon / 25 MPG = $0.12 per mile
EV: 250 Wh/Mile / 1,000 * $0.10 (cost per Kilowatt) = $0.025 per mile

Yes, well, a monthly and yearly, could also include maintenance costs.
I can make a spreadsheet, but the energy costs values would be tricky to find.

Basically cost of operation Fuel vs BEV

Where can I find the Wh consumption of common BEV?

Google will be your friend

We generate our own electricity with solar. That skews the numbers because I can't produce my own gasoline (maybe Texans can). Our only maintenance costs, other than tires, after 110K miles in our Jan 2018 Model 3 were for HVAC vent cleaning and control arm replacement at 107K miles. The cost was about $1K.
YMMV

Wonder if anyone have a 20 years car ownership projection. Does $20k battery pack replacement make it even out the game? No aftermarket, or recycled battery packs. Tesla fanboys will not allow it. Only Tesla service will do. Hehehe.

I have seen many Toyota that doesn't cost anything other than basic maintenance.
