EV Benefit Calculator - looking for feedback (www.cwmenergy.ca)

I built this calculator in the hopes that radical transparency would help.

It's Canada-centric, but you can plug in local prices, gas and electricity rates, etc, and it should successfully pull grid emissions data from your area.

I'm looking for any feedback on how to make it more useful, compelling, etc.

Thanks!

I don't know about wear but I have seen studies that concluded they have increased rubber emissions but I'm not about to go looking for them again. But being that most EVs are fucking trucks and SUVs that shouldn't be surprising and they wouldn't apply to small cars that weigh similar.

I don't have accelerated wear either but I also have a very light EV.
