What goes into the number
The five-year total combines six costs: depreciation, insurance, charging, maintenance and repairs, tires, and loan interest. Depreciation is usually the largest — and the easiest to miss, because you only feel it when you sell or trade in.
Over five years the 2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E is projected to lose about $21,732 of its value — roughly 57% of its $37,795 starting price — based on CarEdge retention data. That single figure often outweighs charging and maintenance combined, which is why two cars with the same sticker can cost thousands apart to own.
The recurring costs — insurance, charging, maintenance, and tires — are shown at national-average rates and 15,000 miles a year. Financing reflects a standard 5-year loan at the national-average new-car rate. Every number is built from real data — depreciation from CarEdge, charging from current EIA residential electricity rates — never a flat per-mile guess.
Make it your number
National averages are a starting point. Set your state, annual mileage, and loan terms in the calculator above to see what you’d actually pay.
Insurance, charging prices, registration, and taxes all vary by state — sometimes by thousands over five years. Several states also add an annual EV registration fee that replaces the gas tax. Raising or lowering your mileage rescales charging, maintenance, and tires, and a higher rate or longer loan term increases the financing cost. To see how the state changes it before you pick one, read the cost to own a car by state breakdown — every state has its own page, with this vehicle re-costed at that state’s prices.
