Calculate my Maine savings →What drives EV savings in Maine
Your savings come down to four things: how many miles you drive, your car's MPG, the local price of gas, and your electricity rate. The calculator pulls the latest regional gas price and Maine's average residential electricity rate automatically, then compares the cost per mile of your current car against an EV.
Maine currently charges no special annual EV registration surcharge, which shortens your break-even versus states that do.

Is an EV cheaper to run than gas in Maine?
Usually yes — charging typically costs less per mile than gasoline — but it depends on
your local rates and mileage. Run your numbers to be sure.
How is the break-even calculated?
We take the extra upfront cost of the EV (price minus your current car's trade-in value,
plus any home charger install) and divide by your annual fuel savings.
