Field notes
The calculator exposes assumptions that are often buried in car-cost comparisons, including the share of kilometres charged at home and the electricity tariff used. It offers three sample driving profiles and ownership periods from three to eight years; the site cautions that its profiles are examples rather than vehicle quotes. Navigation divides the reference material into six reports and 30 dossiers, covering subjects such as charging, tax, vehicle comparisons, and inspection.
