Mileage costs: all information on one stick
VALUABLE ASSISTANCE The cost per kilometer will increase by four centimes in 2023 compared to the previous year and will now be 75 centimes per kilometer. This is shown by the TCS calculation of kilometer costs. The situation remains unstable.
Driving a car has become noticeably more expensive in recent months. The reasons for this are supply chain problems, semiconductor shortages, and higher raw material prices, which have led to massive price increases in some cases. Added to this have been new minimum standards for assistance systems and stricter emissions regulations for internal combustion engines. The war in Ukraine and the lockdowns in China have also made component availability more difficult.
Average 75 centimes per kilometer
The TCS sample car used for this year's calculation is based on a new price of 39,000 francs. The average annual mileage is 15,000 kilometers. Using the TCS calculation rates, the sample car with an internal combustion engine has fixed costs of 6543 francs per year and variable costs of 4717 francs. This results in a price per kilometer of 75 centimes - four centimes more than in the previous year. With this calculation, the vehicles are depreciated after nine years and 135,000 kilometers.
Acquisition price is most important factor
Fuel costs are only responsible for around 18 percent of total operating costs. So even if prices remain high this year, this will only have a moderate impact on the cost per kilometer. Currently, 63 percent of all passenger cars have a gasoline engine and 28 percent have a diesel engine. With electric cars, fuel and service costs are lower, but the purchase price is higher. This results in a certain cost compensation, which is significant for particularly high mileage.
