FAQ
How do I calculate gas cost for a road trip?
Divide the total miles by your car's miles per gallon, then multiply by the price of gas. For example, 600 miles ÷ 28 mpg × $3.60 ≈ $77.
How much does it cost to charge an EV on a road trip?
Multiply miles by your car's efficiency and the charging price. At 30 kWh per 100 miles and $0.45/kWh fast charging, 600 miles costs about $81. Charging at your hotel is often much cheaper.
What costs do people forget on road trips?
Park entrance fees or an annual pass, one-way rental drop fees, resort fees, parking at popular viewpoints, and higher fuel prices in remote areas and inside national parks.
