Every EV driver eventually asks the same question: what is this car actually costing me? Not the number on the brochure, not a national average, not someone else’s guess — the real figure, built from your own charges, your own mileage and your own receipts.
That question is why Amperlo exists. We built it because tracking EV running costs meant either keeping a spreadsheet nobody updates, or trusting rough estimates that don’t hold up once you own the car. Amperlo turns every charge, every mile and every receipt into one clear number — your real cost per mile — automatically.
What Amperlo does for you
Amperlo is a mobile-first logbook built specifically for EV ownership. Log a charge in seconds — at home, at a public charger, or overnight at the marina — and Amperlo turns it into an always up-to-date picture of what your car really costs to run and to own.
- Real cost per mile, calculated from your actual charging history — not a manufacturer estimate.
- Total cost of ownership across outright purchase, PCP and lease, including depreciation, interest and running costs.
- Effortless receipt capture — snap a photo or forward an email, and Amperlo reads the kWh, cost and VAT for you.
- Savings you can show your accountant, with VAT reclaim tracked automatically on every eligible charge.
The result: instead of wondering whether your EV is saving you money, you know exactly how much, every month.
Why it matters
Switching to electric is meant to save you money and time. Amperlo makes sure you actually see that saving, instead of taking it on faith. Business drivers get accountant-ready mileage and expense records without the admin. Families get a clear answer to “is this cheaper than the petrol car was?” And everyone gets their evenings back — no spreadsheets, no guesswork, no chasing receipts at tax time.
