Charging versus fuel

Energy cost calculator

What would you spend on charging instead of fuel?

Pick an electric vehicle, pick the petrol car you would otherwise drive, and set how much you drive. Prices use Nigerian electricity bands and Lagos pump prices, and you can change any of them.

Energy use figures are published efficiency ratings adjusted for real-world driving, so treat results as estimates. EV figures include about 10% charging loss between the wall socket and the battery.

Default tariffs: Band A /kWh and Band B /kWh (NERC bands, check your DisCo bill). Generator charging assumes a small petrol generator producing about kWh per litre. This compares energy only; servicing, tyres and insurance are not included.
