1. Scope
These Terms of Service govern the use of the free online tool provided on this website. By using the website, the user agrees to these Terms.
2. Service
This website provides a free tool for calculating and comparing operating costs between electric vehicles and vehicles with combustion engines. The content is provided for general information and orientation purposes only.
3. No Advice
The content and calculations provided on this website do not constitute financial, technical, tax, or legal advice and shall not be construed as such. For individual decisions, consultation with qualified professionals is recommended.
4. Limitation of Liability
All calculations are based on the values entered by the user and on general average values. Actual costs, consumption values, prices, and subsidies may differ based on individual conditions (see also Section 3 regarding the non-advisory nature of this service).
The operator is a private individual providing EVSpend free of charge. Liability for the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of calculations is excluded to the extent permitted by law. Statutory liability for intent and gross negligence, as well as for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health, remains unaffected.
Before making economically significant decisions (in particular vehicle purchase, long-term financing commitments, investments in charging infrastructure), independent verification of the calculation results is recommended.
5. Use
Use of this website is at the user's own risk. The operator shall not be liable for damages arising from the use or inability to use the information provided. The user is responsible for verifying any information before relying on it for personal or financial decisions.
6. Affiliate Links
This website may contain references to external providers. Some of these links may be affiliate links. If a contract is concluded via such a link, we may receive a commission. This does not result in any additional cost to the user. Affiliate partnerships have no influence on the objectivity of the calculations.
7. Changes to These Terms of Use
The operator reserves the right to amend these terms of use at any time, particularly in the case of legal changes, technical developments, or expansions of the functional scope of EVSpend. The current version is available on this page and identified by the date at the bottom of the page.
By continuing to use EVSpend after a revised version has been published, users accept the amended terms of use. Significant changes affecting mandatory consumer rights will be announced — to the extent technically and legally feasible — through a visible notice on the homepage.
The current version can be viewed, printed, or saved on this page at any time.
8. Jurisdiction and Applicable Law
These terms of use and the use of EVSpend are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For consumers with habitual residence in another EU member state, the mandatory consumer protection provisions of their home country remain unaffected.
The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with the use of EVSpend is, to the extent permitted by law, the residence of the operator (Stadtallendorf, Germany). For consumers, the statutory place of jurisdiction applies, which is generally the consumer's residence.
If any provision of these terms of use is invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
9. Consumer Rights in the EU
As a consumer in the European Union, you have mandatory consumer protection rights under EU law that cannot be waived by these Terms. These include:
- Right to clear and accurate information
- Protection against unfair contract terms (Directive 93/13/EEC)
- Right to withdrawal for distance contracts (where applicable)
Should any provision of these Terms conflict with mandatory EU consumer protection law, the EU law shall prevail.
