EV Compare Tool - A different kind of electric vehicle comparison site

I found this exceptionally helpful, intelligently designed and informative app by accident (on Reddit.) I was trying to get a handle on the state of EVs, and my next car purchase. There was a post by the Maker announcing this tool he made. It was popping off in up-votes and comments so I took a look.. It was so refreshing and insightful I have to give the maker his due props, and hunt it on here. EV Compare Tool allowed me to simply understand the costs of driving an Electric vehicle vs Hybrid / Gas vehicles based on make/model vs specific make/model, commute, electricity price etc. There's no agenda here. No information stored. Nothing to up-sell. Just pure technological labor of love of someone trying to help consumers make informed decisions when purchasing/leasing a car. Try it. Hit yourself with the facts. Good on you @alex_forward From the website - "Why I made evcomparetool.com I made this site after realizing there’s a few questions that come up repeatedly from non-EV owners around range, charging and travel. Understanding how owning an electric vehicle will affect you and your lifestyle can be a complicated undertaking, and the answer is different for every person. Here’s what I am often asked when I tell people I own an EV: How long do you spend charging your car? How much does it cost you to charge your car every day? How long does it take you to drive a long road trip? I wanted to answer those questions and realized it would require a personalized approach. The answers for me wouldn’t necessarily be the same for someone else. I wanted to be able to show people what the answers would look like for them, not for me. I noticed that, while there are many EV comparison websites, they all follow the same patterns, and do not help you understand whether you need 50, 100 or 300 miles of range in an EV for it to be suitable for you. Just stating the vehicle range, or charge rate, doesn’t really tell you how that EV is going to fit into your life. What makes evcomparetool.com different from other EV Comparison sites? evcomparetool.com uses personalized data (which is never stored), and shows you how an EV or Plug in Hybrid (PHEV) would affect your charging and travel times, the money you spend on fuel, and the effect you have on the environment. Find out whether an EV or Plug In Hybrid has enough charge for your commute, whether you can take a roadtrip you have your heart set on, and what you would be spending on a weekly or monthly basis with a different vehicle. Comparing EVs has never been so easy! Try it out ..."

Great Idea! Would love to be able to compare the Skoda Enyak iV 50/60/80 (similiar to VW id.4) to Opel Astra J

Hi, I'm the 'Maker' for the site. Thank you for the feedback and comments everyone! It's so heartening to hear after the effort I put into the site design! I made this site with EV curious people mind, looking to understand whether there was an EV that would work for them. This was based on my own experience of being asked about EV ownership, and discussing whether an EV would be the right choice for other people. It's been a long road to getting this site up and running - I started around a year ago. When I had the idea for the site, I had zero web development experience, so teaching myself that was the first step! I wanted to be straightforward with some of the comments pointing to agenda around the site. I do hope to monitize the site, but of course right now the priority is on the content, which is continuing to be built out. If I do monitize, I'm commited to doing this in a non-obtrusive way (and no slow loading banner ads!), and never storing sensitive data, like home address etc.

Everyone in the world should use this tool. Congratulations on the launch, @alex_forward 🚀
