Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo vs Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200: which costs less to run?

A useful kilowatt-hour-versus-litre comparison requires consistent assumptions. Here, the Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo uses a model-specific road and climate estimate, while the Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 uses an official-cycle fuel figure adjusted with a correction factor. At the selected United States prices, the result is about $7.11 versus $10.8 per 100 mi, or roughly $503 per year in favour of the EV.

That assumes average local prices of $0.17/kWh for home electricity and $3.26/gal for fuel, plus 13,670 mi per year. Higher mileage scales the displayed difference, while the road, climate, charging mix, consumption and prices can all be changed below.

Compare charging and fuel costs for this model

We have created dedicated comparison pages for this EV and selected petrol, diesel and hybrid rivals. The calculations use the EV's selected road-and-climate consumption estimate, an adjusted fuel-consumption estimate for the rival, and electricity and fuel prices for the selected market. Each page opens the calculator with that model pair preselected:

How this calculator works

EV consumption and range are calculated using model-specific estimates for different driving and climate conditions. The official WLTP range is shown for reference where available, but the calculations are based on the selected scenario rather than directly on the WLTP value.

The home-charging calculation includes an estimated 10% charging loss. No additional loss factor is currently applied to public DC charging. Electricity and fuel prices are market averages with a visible update date, and all prices, charging shares and mileage values can be adjusted with the sliders.

Fuel consumption for petrol, diesel and hybrid rivals is calculated from their official WLTP, EPA, NEDC or manufacturer figures using correction factors for the relevant test cycle. You can also replace the estimated consumption and fuel price with your own values.

All results are estimates. Weather, driving style, load, charging losses and local tariffs can change the actual result. The data behind this calculator is maintained and reviewed by the Elbil RADAR editorial team. If you spot an error, use the contact page and we will review it.
