Terms of use

What EV provides free tools and written guides to help UK drivers compare the running costs of electric, petrol, diesel and hybrid cars, and to shortlist electric models. It is an information service only.

Nothing on this site is financial, tax, legal or purchasing advice. Every figure is an estimate built from published UK averages and live price feeds, and your real costs will differ depending on your driving, tariff, insurer, vehicle and finance arrangement. Always check figures with the relevant supplier before committing to a purchase or lease.

We take care to keep our assumptions current and to state them openly on the results pages, but we do not warrant that the site or its third-party price feeds are accurate, complete or continuously available. Where a live feed is unavailable we fall back to a stored UK average and label it as such.

You may use the site for your own personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not scrape, overload or attempt to disrupt the service, submit automated or abusive volumes of form data, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the system.

We may earn a commission if you buy or lease a vehicle, charger or insurance policy through links on this site. This never affects our calculations, rankings or recommendations.

Site content, calculations and guide text belong to What EV. Vehicle images and manufacturer names remain the property of their respective owners and are used for identification purposes.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from decisions made on the basis of information on this site. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

We may update these terms as the site develops; the current version always appears here. See our privacy policy for how we handle data.
