How we calculate it
Same assumptions as the rest of the site, with prices in Santa Cruz de Tenerife
- Each car is the best-selling version of each model sold new since 2020; under Electric and Hybrids, its best-selling version with that powertrain.
- 15,000 km a year for 5 years, bought new. Real consumption: the type-approval figure plus the real-world gap measured by the European Commission.
- Fuel: the average of the province's filling stations on 15/10/2026. Electricity: 0,15 €/kWh, charging at home (rapid chargers cost several times more).
- Santa Cruz de Tenerife's road tax (2026 tax bylaw), with its discounts for electric cars and hybrids.
- ITV at the Canarias fee. Insurance, maintenance and tyres: our own estimates, the same across Spain.
