After you look up a car, the yearly cost is rated combined energy use × kilometres per year × the price you set. Plug-in hybrids use NRCan’s litres-equivalent combined figure. Electricity uses the rated kWh path where we have it. Defaults are recent Canadian average prices baked into the app; change them to match what you pay.
That dollar figure is not from IBC and not from NRCan’s own price tables. It is an assumption layer on top of the Fuel Consumption Guide. Real-world use varies with weather, speed, and charging. Method: Yearly fuel cost.
