Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the EVSolarCalc website at evsolarcalc.com (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Site.

These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Site. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time, and your continued use of the Site after any modification constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

2. Nature of the Service

EVSolarCalc provides free, browser-based calculators designed to help users estimate:

• Electric vehicle vs. gasoline vehicle cost comparisons
• EV charging costs
• Solar panel return on investment and payback periods
• Total cost of EV ownership
• Solar savings by U.S. state

All calculations are performed locally in your browser. We do not store your inputs or results on our servers.

3. Estimates Only — Not Financial or Professional Advice

All results produced by EVSolarCalc calculators are estimates based on generalized assumptions and publicly available data. They are provided for informational and educational purposes only.

Calculator outputs do not constitute:

• Financial advice or investment advice
• Tax advice
• Legal advice
• Energy engineering assessments
• Quotes or proposals from any vendor, installer, or utility

Actual costs, savings, payback periods, and other figures will vary based on your specific circumstances, location, local utility rates, equipment choices, installer pricing, weather, usage patterns, applicable tax credits, and many other factors that our calculators cannot fully account for.

4. Consult a Professional

Before making any financial or energy-related decision — including purchasing an electric vehicle, installing solar panels, or claiming tax credits — we strongly encourage you to:

• Obtain quotes from licensed solar installers or EV dealers.
• Consult a certified financial planner or tax advisor regarding tax credits and incentives.
• Review current federal and state tax credit eligibility requirements directly with the IRS or a tax professional, as rules change frequently.
• Contact your local utility company for accurate electricity rate information.

5. Accuracy of Data

We make reasonable efforts to keep the data used in our calculators (utility rates, sun hours, vehicle efficiency figures, tax credit percentages, etc.) accurate and up to date. However, we make no warranty, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or fitness for a particular purpose of any data or calculation result provided on this Site.

Data sources include publicly available government databases, utility filings, and industry estimates. These figures are averages and may not reflect your specific situation.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, EVSolarCalc and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from:

• Errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in any content;
• Decisions made based on information obtained from this Site;
• Any interruption, suspension, or termination of the Site.

This limitation applies regardless of whether we have been advised of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the form of action.
