The answer with these values
Tesla costs less
681 €lower cost over the selected distance
Electricity and fuel only
For the same 6,000 km, fuel costs about €990.00, compared with €308.61 using the project Tesla’s recorded electricity cost. Even with high consumption, low yearly mileage limits the cash saving. Compare the amount with the extra cost of another car; this example alone does not calculate purchase payback.

Where does the difference come from?

| Electricity / fuel | 308.61 € | 990 € |
| Total | 308.61 € | 990 € |
What could change the answer?
One Tesla’s two-month diary is not a yearly average for all EVs. One charging session contains estimated data. Winter, speed and a different public-charging mix can change cost per kilometre. The AC/DC slider here changes the time estimate, not recorded electricity cost. This is not a purchase-payback calculation.
