What your result means: the big number is how much you'd save (or spend extra) a year on energy by driving electric. The break-even price is the most you could pay per kWh before the EV stops being cheaper to run. This is energy only, so purchase price and other costs aren't counted.
Energy only: no purchase price, insurance or maintenance. Estimates, not financial advice.
