Two comparisons, not one. Against petrol — and against charging at a public station, which is what a resident does when their building has nowhere to plug in.
Your driving
What do you drive?
How much?
Distance, mileage, pump price and tariffs. Every one is adjustable; none is a quotation.

₹ —
Pick what you drive and how much. The figure appears here and moves as you adjust.
A month of driving, three ways
All three on one scale, so the lengths can be compared by eye.
If you are a resident: the public-charging gap is the argument to take to your committee. If you are on the committee: it is what each EV-owning resident is already paying, every year, while the decision waits.
Every rate above is adjustable and none is a quotation. Petrol prices move, tariffs differ by society, and real-world efficiency depends on how you drive.
