Open the Flight fares and baggage calculatorWhat to prepare
- Record the distance, vehicle specification and the relevant fuel or electricity price.

How to interpret the result
A running-cost or range estimate is not a guarantee of real-world performance. Weather, loading, driving conditions, charging losses and changing prices can alter the result.
Compare vehicles over the same distance and ownership period. Test a higher energy price or worse consumption before deciding that the apparent saving is dependable.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not mix litres per 100 km with miles per gallon, or battery capacity with energy purchased.
- Distinguish an advertised charging power from power sustained during a full session.
- Check taxes, vehicle classification and exclusions against the stated date and sources.
Assumptions and sources
Use quoted fees for the same itinerary, luggage allowance and currency. Included bags should have zero charge; booking, transfer and change fees are excluded.
