Show HN: EV vs. ICE Breakeven Tool
sensecall Wednesday, December 03, 2025This started as a quick script to sanity check EV running costs, and turned into a handy little comparison tool.
I haven't been able to find anything which shows at which price points EV is cheaper/more expensive than ICE – the heatmap shows it pretty concisely.
It’s a bit rough round the edges, but people have found it pretty useful, so I figured I'd spin it out into its own site. Sharing for feedback.
Summary
The article compares the total cost of ownership for electric vehicles (EVs) and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, analyzing factors such as purchase price, fuel/energy costs, and maintenance expenses to determine the breakeven point where EVs become more financially viable than their ICE counterparts.
