Why TCO Ranking?

The cheapest electric car to purchase is not always the cheapest in total costs. We rank based on Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): all costs over 4 years ownership, including tax benefits, energy costs and maintenance.

Included in TCO:

  • Purchase price
  • Taxes (BPM, MRB, company car tax)
  • Energy costs (15,000 km/year)
  • Maintenance and insurance
  • Depreciation

Assumptions:

  • 15,000 km per year
  • 4 years ownership
  • €0.30/kWh electricity
  • Business use (company car tax)

Calculate Your Exact Costs

This ranking is based on standard assumptions. Calculate your exact monthly costs based on your specific situation: driving pattern, province, business or private use.
