? What figures should I use?

For the best comparison, use your actual electricity rate from your power bill and the real fuel consumption of the petrol car you want to compare. If you charge mostly off-peak or from solar, enter the average electricity price you actually expect to pay.

This calculator compares estimated energy and fuel costs only. It does not include vehicle purchase price, finance, insurance, registration, servicing, tyres, depreciation, repairs or other ownership costs. Actual Tesla energy use and petrol consumption vary with driving style, speed, temperature, traffic, wheel and tyre configuration and other conditions.
