Calculating the Cost of Car Ownership

We conducted a study to compare the total cost of owning passenger vehicles with different propulsion types. Specifically, we compared the total ownership cost for vehicles with electric, combustion and plug-in hybrid powertrains in four different vehicle classes, including compact, medium, large, and SUV. Prospective buyers can now use the results of our study to make more informed purchasing decisions. The scope of the study also includes a discussion of common claims relating to the cost of passenger vehicle ownership.
