- The Volvo EX30 Single Motor ER pulls ahead of the Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid (HEV) if you drive more than about 27,000 km/yr.

What we assume for maintenance
Assumed $650/yr for an EV at 15,000 km/yr — about $3,248 of the 5-year total above. On this market's assumptions an EV runs about $525/yr less in maintenance than a gas car ($650 vs $1,175). See the methodology for sources; adjustable in the calculator.
Cost to charge the Volvo EX30 Single Motor ER at home
The Volvo EX30 Single Motor ER runs about $3.15 per 100 km at home — versus about $11.76 for a typical 7 L/100km petrol car.
