Where it sits among 2024 models

Each tick is the annual fuel cost of one of the 302 vehicles of model year 2024 on this site. The 2024 BMW i5 is the 24th cheapest to charge. Over five years EPA estimates it saves $7,875 in fuel compared with the average new vehicle.

What this figure is

It is EPA's own annual cost estimate, the kind printed on a new car's window sticker. It assumes 15,000 miles a year, 55% of them in the city and 45% on the highway, at the national electricity prices EPA uses, which it revises from time to time.

To estimate your own cost, scale it by your mileage: someone who drives 10,000 miles a year would pay about two thirds of the figure. Electricity prices where you charge move it too. The efficiency ratings come from EPA's standard laboratory tests.
