When fully charged, you will pay about 4.2¢ per mile for the first 11 miles you drive ($.38 for the electricity and $.08 for the gasoline).

After the first 11 miles, the vehicle will function like a regular hybrid and consume only gasoline, costing about 7.7¢/mile.

You will spend $.38 cents on electricity and $1.16 on gasoline. This calculation assumes that your vehicle is fully charged when you begin your 25 mile trip and that you do not recharge during the trip.

Miles on a tank and refueling cost for gasoline only assumes 90% of fuel in tank will be used before refueling.

Personalized estimates are currently not available for this vehicle.
