Estimates use constant prices, no investment discount rate and your stated assumptions. A negative savings result means the EV scenario costs more.
Assumptions matter.
Does this tool find charging stops or predict driving range?
No. It is an energy budget, not a route or stop planner. The percentage is the share of total purchased energy charged at home, not the share of stops. Check charger availability and your vehicle range separately.
Are these forecasts of actual costs?
No. The default inputs are examples. Replace them with your tariffs, quotes, driving estimates and expected costs. No fuel, installation or resale price is predicted by the tool.
