10# Petrol vs. electric, per year
11// A road-trip cost comparison. This notebook also has a FORM (Pro): Form →
12// Form view for an input mask with the comparison chart built in.

14km_year = 15000 // driven per year
15
16# Petrol car
17l_100 = 7.0 // litres / 100 km
18price_l = 1.85 // € / litre
19petrol = km_year / 100 * l_100 * price_l
20
21# Electric car
22kwh_100 = 18 // kWh / 100 km
23price_kwh = 0.34 // € / kWh
24electric = km_year / 100 * kwh_100 * price_kwh
25
26# Verdict
27"Petrol per year (€)": petrol
28"Electric per year (€)": electric
29saved = petrol - electric
30You save {saved} € per year by driving electric.

32// If the EV costs 9000 € more to buy, it pays for itself in:
33payback = 9000 / saved
34
35# Bonus: unit math carries through
3615000 km in mi // same distance in miles
37"CO₂ from petrol (kg/yr)": km_year / 100 * l_100 * 2.31
