Tesla fuel savings for the Model 3 in Australia......so about $7.500 for 100,000 km's I usually keep a car for 200,000 that would be a $15,000 saving ......considering the low end M3 Tesla battery will be good for 700,000 km's (490km range and 1,500 full charges) I would probably keep longer.... Also just about no servicing for a EV either.....
Estimated fuel savings over 5 years $5,600
Electric vehicles are less expensive to fuel than petrol powered vehicles. The average person drives approximately 15,000 kilometers and spends around $1,800 on petrol per year. In comparison, the cost of electricity to power Model 3 over the same distance is 3 times lower. Over the 5 year average length of car ownership, that's approximately $5,600 in petrol savings.
We've assumed a fuel economy of 7.0 litres per 100 kilometers for a comparable petrol powered car. We've also assumed the national average of $0.30 per kilowatt hour for electricity and $1.75 per litre for premium petrol over the next 5 years.
