Our engine provides a high-fidelity Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis. To remain professional and accurate for 2026, our logic includes 10% energy charging loss (wall-to-battery), the "EV Tire Tax" (shorter tread life due to instant torque and vehicle mass), and real-world insurance premium deltas. We offer this transparency to help consumers navigate the transition to sustainable transport.
