The answer with these values
Tesla costs less
1,102 €lower cost over the selected distance
Electricity and fuel only
For the same 25,000 km, fuel costs about €2,387.50, compared with €1,285.88 using the project Tesla’s recorded electricity cost. The diesel is efficient, but high mileage accumulates an annual cost difference. For mostly motorway driving, also test an EV scenario with suitable consumption and more DC charging.

Where does the difference come from?
| Item | Tesla Model Y | Diesel |
|---|---|---|
| Electricity / fuel | 1,285.88 € | 2,387.5 € |
| Total | 1,285.88 € | 2,387.5 € |
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.
