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 Michigan's average residential electricity rate automatically, then compares the cost per mile of your current car against an EV.
Michigan charges an extra $135 per year in EV registration fees to offset lost gas-tax revenue — the calculator factors this into your break-even.

Is an EV cheaper to run than gas in Michigan?
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, after subtracting Michigan's $135 annual EV fee.
