RUC Calculator

Wondering how New Zealand’s Road User Charges (RUC) will affect your vehicle costs?

Wondering how New Zealand’s Road User Charges (RUC) will affect your vehicle costs? The New Road User Charge Calculator, created by the team at EVDB, is a simple, interactive tool that compares annual running costs for petrol, diesel, hybrid, plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and fully electric vehicles (EVs). You can adjust fuel and electricity prices, RUC rates, and other variables to see how each choice impacts your wallet. The tool breaks down costs like fuel, electricity, RUC, and registration—giving you a clear picture of what’s cheapest.

From April 2024, EVs pay RUC at the same rate as diesel vehicles, but even with this change, EVs remain one of the most affordable options to run thanks to their low energy costs and efficiency. The calculator shows how EVs stack up against other vehicles and why they’re still the smart choice for long-term savings. Try it out and see for yourself: https://ruc.evdb.nz/.
