Frequently Asked Questions
How fast do cars lose value?
Many cars lose around 15-20% of their value in the first year and less each year after. The rate you enter controls the projection.
Is real consumption the same as the estimate?
No. Traffic, speed, load, weather and driving style change real fuel or battery use.
Do the tools handle both miles and kilometres?
Yes. Choose the units you use and the results convert automatically.
Can I change the inputs and recalculate?
Yes. Change any value and press Calculate. The result, the table and the explanation update straight away.
Note
Real consumption changes with driving style, load, traffic and weather. Treat the result as an estimate.
