on a balanced view of all values
Fuel and electricity cost a year: Limited. The EPA estimates $2,500 to $3,300 a year in gasoline (premium or regular, by configuration) across its 2 configurations, median $2,500, at 25 to 27 mpg combined. That assumes 15,000 miles a year with 55 per cent city driving at $5.48 a gallon of premium and $4.47 a gallon of regular, the prices behind the EPA's figures in this file. Scored against the cheapest to run on this list ($600 a year scores 100; twice that scores 50). source↗ 2026-10
