Other comparisons
Base MSRP before incentives. Ranges are EPA estimates across each model’s trims. Running costs assume 1,000 miles a month at the U.S. average of 18.4¢/kWh. The road trip uses each model’s longest-range version on the highway in summer, leaving home full, charging 10–80% at $0.50/kWh. Fast-charging times are the makers’ claims or estimates noted on each model page. For a plug-in hybrid the range shown is how far it goes on the battery alone, and its running cost is given per mile rather than per month, because how much of your month runs on electricity depends on how far you drive.
