Comparison Example of Gasoline Cars and Electric Vehicles (Reference)

Gasoline Car

	Regular automobiles (passenger cars, SUVs)
Fuel Tank Capacity	55L
Fuel Consumption Rate	15.4km/L
Fueling time (30L per minute)	About 2 minutes
Gasoline Prices	180 yen/L
Total Amount When Fuel is Full	9,900 yen
Total Distance Traveled (When Fuel Tank is Full)	847km
Cost per kilometer	About 11.7 yen

• The gasoline price refers to the average regular gasoline price in Inagi City as of April 7, 2025.
• The cost per kilometer is calculated by dividing the total amount when the fuel tank is full by the total distance traveled (when the fuel tank is full).

Total Electric Power	71.4kWh	20kWh
WLTC Mode: Driving Distance on a Single Charge	567km	180km

• Charging time (80%) is the approximate time to charge up to 80% using a fast charger from the point when the battery level warning light is on or flashing.
• The total electric power (80%) is calculated by multiplying the total electric power by 0.8.
• The total driving distance (total electric power (80%)) is calculated by multiplying the driving distance on a single charge in WLTC mode by 0.8.
• The cost per kilometer is calculated by dividing the total amount during charging time (80%) by the total distance traveled (total electric power (80%)).
