Audited planning profile
This household daily profile applies a 4× editable baseline across 1 model period to the vehicle depreciation breakeven model.
Compare the break-even period with the time you realistically expect to keep or use the option. Use household totals and include irregular shared costs rather than only one person's spending. Use a typical day and separately test peak or exceptional days.
Live fuel prices, charging tariffs, insurance quotes, taxes, incentives, depreciation and repair events are not fetched.
Use current local quotes, measured consumption and the vehicle's service schedule.
