EV Cost Parity Tracker

See when EVs beat ICEs — with comparable costs and transparent drivers across markets.

Track Cost Parity

Why this matters

For consumers, EV adoption depends less on technology hype than on household budgets. Yet most studies only show averages or projections without revealing the cost structure.

This dataset tracks the true total cost of ownership of EVs versus ICEs, across geographies and categories. It shows both when parity arrives and what drives the gap — giving you a grounded view of affordability.

Each row represents a geography (city, state, or country). Input fields are geo_name and geo_level. All other values are enriched and carry confidence scores. Columns include ICE and EV TCO, the EV/ICE ratio, estimated year of parity (0 = already achieved), and affordability index relative to median disposable income. Local drivers (fuel price, electricity cost, incentives) show why parity differs across markets.
