About True EV Cost

True EV Cost builds free, honest calculators for the two big "is it worth it?" questions in the electric transition: does an EV actually save me money? and does rooftop solar pay for itself? Our tools cover EV charging-cost comparisons, EV road-trip planning, fleet van running costs, and solar payback across Europe, the UK and Pakistan.

Buying decisions get drowned in marketing — inflated range figures, best-case charging prices, solar quotes that assume ideal conditions. Our calculators strip that out and show the real numbers: your electricity tariff, your actual charging mix, your driving pattern, local fuel prices and realistic solar yields. Every tool is free, needs no signup, and runs entirely in your browser.

Defaults are based on current, country-specific sources (electricity tariffs, fuel prices, solar irradiance) and stamped with their last-update date — but they are starting points. Change them to match your own bills and habits to get a result you can actually act on. Start with the tools or read the guides to understand the math behind them.

True EV Cost is an independent information project. It is not affiliated with any car maker, energy supplier or government, and nothing here is professional financial advice — for big purchases, check your numbers with a qualified advisor or installer.
