EV & Electrification Calculators
Electrification outcomes vary by utility rates, fuel prices, climate, and equipment performance. These calculators let you compare operating-cost scenarios for EV charging, heating systems, and insulation upgrades using your own inputs.
Compare Costs and Plan Your Electrification
Electrification — replacing fossil-fuel systems with electric alternatives — is one of the fastest-growing areas in home energy. Whether you're considering an electric vehicle, a heat pump, or both, the financial case depends heavily on your local electricity and fuel prices, climate, and available incentives.
The EV charging cost calculator compares the cost of charging an electric vehicle at home against filling up a gas car, accounting for your electricity rate, driving habits, and vehicle efficiency. If you already have solar panels, the solar EV feasibility tool checks whether your system produces enough surplus energy to offset most or all of your charging needs — and how that changes by season.
For heating, the heat pump cost calculator compares annual operating costs of modern heat pumps against gas, oil, and propane furnaces. Heat pumps are typically 2-3x more efficient than resistance heating, but the savings margin over gas depends on your local gas-to-electricity price ratio and climate zone.
