What the numbers say

- Call it a tie: €993 apart over 5 years is inside the noise of estimates like these — choose on fit and charging access, not on cost.
- The Skoda Elroq 60 pulls ahead of the Lexus LBX Elegant if you drive more than about 19,500 km/yr.
- On cost per month the Skoda Elroq 60 ranks #4 of 16 EV models we track in Ireland.
- Where the Skoda Elroq 60's €40,658 actually goes: depreciation €23,818 (59%), financing interest €6,661 (16%), charging €4,432 (11%), insurance €3,400 (8%), maintenance €1,748 (4%), registration & fees €600 (1%).
- Per km, that is €0.32 of depreciation and €0.06 of charging, with €0.17 for everything else — €0.54/km all-in.

What we assume for maintenance
Assumed €350/yr for an EV at 15,000 km/yr — about €1,748 of the 5-year total above. On this market's assumptions an EV runs about €351/yr less in maintenance than a petrol car (€350 vs €701). See the methodology for sources; adjustable in the calculator.
Cost to charge the Skoda Elroq 60 at home
The Skoda Elroq 60 runs about €4.55 per 100 km at home — versus about €12.81 for a typical 7 L/100km petrol car. Home charging only (the ~12% AC charging loss is included); public DC fast-charging is billed per session by each network — often 2–3× the home rate — and isn't in these figures.
- Per 100 km at home
- €4.5516 kWh/100km + 12% charging loss × €0.25/kWh
