About CarPairly
CarPairly is built to show what a new car really costs, electric and gas cars side by side. The catalog has electric cars from OpenEV Data and gas and diesel cars entered by hand from manufacturer pages.
CarPairly is built to show what a new car really costs, with electric cars and gas cars compared on one page.
It is for anyone choosing a new car who wants to weigh a higher price tag against lower running costs, in the market where they live. Prices, units and tax treatment follow the market you pick. By market convention, list prices exclude sales tax in the United States and Canada and include VAT or GST in the other markets we show.
What CarPairly is
CarPairly is a new-car comparison website. Browse electric cars and gas cars in one catalog and open a car to see its specifications and list prices. Compare cars against each other, use the tools to add up what a car costs over five years, and read the guides for the terms and trade-offs behind the numbers.
We aim to be neutral between electric and gas. We are not advocates for either, and a comparison only tells you what the numbers say for the car, market and inputs you choose. Neutrality is a rule we have set for how we build comparisons.
Why we show our working
The list price is rarely the whole story, and a cost estimate you cannot inspect is just another opinion. So every price on CarPairly shows the date it was checked, a link to its source and whether it includes tax. Every specification shows where it came from. The calculators list the numbers they used and say which of them are estimates.
If we have no data for a field, we hide it. You will not see a column of "N/A", and a missing value is never shown as zero.
Where our data comes from
We use public sources, and we say which ones on the data sources page. The first catalog is built from OpenEV Data release v1.24.0, accessed 2 October 2026. Its vehicle specifications and some list prices come from OpenEV Data, an open dataset published under the CDLA-Permissive-2.0 license. Currency conversion follows the European Central Bank's reference rates. The methodology page explains how the calculations work, the assumptions behind them and the limits of the data.
We do not scrape dealers, manufacturers or competitors. Prices that we enter ourselves, such as gas and diesel car prices read from the manufacturers' pages, are entered by hand with a source link.
Test data used while building the site is flagged as test data and is never shown on the live site.
Who writes the content
CarPairly content is produced by the CarPairly Editorial Team, not by individual named writers. Some drafts start with AI assistance. AI-assisted drafts are checked against public sources and our style guide before publication. Guides, category pages and legal pages are published only by a human editor. Anything we cannot verify is removed or held back rather than published.
What we are not
We are not affiliated with any vehicle manufacturer. Trademarks belong to their respective owners. We make no claims about driving feel, comfort or reliability unless we can source them. When we state a number about a car, it comes from a source we name.
Corrections
We correct mistakes when we find them and update the "last reviewed" date on the affected page. If a number looks wrong to you, the date and source shown next to it tell you where to check it, and where we should check it too.
