  • MPGe values shown on the EPA label combine electricity and gasoline and cannot be used as ordinary MPG; this estimate prices each energy source separately instead.

Official FuelEconomy.gov estimate: $1,350/year — assumes 15,000 miles/year and EPA price assumptions. The figures above use your inputs instead.
