US Methodology & Analytical Benchmark Sources
Gasoline prices and residential electricity rates reflect monthly surveys published by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). EV efficiency benchmarks (30 kWh/100 mi equivalent to ~112 MPGe) and gasoline averages (27 MPG) align with EPA vehicle fleet standards. Maintenance differentials ($0.03/mi vs $0.06/mi) reflect AAA Automotive and Argonne National Laboratory lifetime cost studies.
