Say hello

One address for everything: hello@realchargecost.com

This is a small, independently run site, so it's a person reading your email rather than a support queue. We read everything and reply when we can — usually within a few days. If something's urgent, say so in the subject line and we'll bump it up.

Found a mistake?

Tell us, and point us at the source if you have one. Cost figures go off like milk — tariffs change, incentives expire, manufacturers quietly revise their efficiency ratings — and we would far rather fix a number than defend it.

Corrections jump the queue. If you can, mention the page and the specific figure so we're not hunting for it.

Confused by one of our numbers?

Ask away. Everything here follows a documented method with the assumptions written on the page, but that doesn't mean it's obvious. If something doesn't add up, or you reckon an assumption is wrong for your situation, we'd genuinely like to hear it — those questions often turn into better articles.

Partnerships and advertising

We're open to affiliate partnerships and advertising that suit the site, so do get in touch. What we won't do is change a recommendation or a published figure because someone paid us to — the numbers are the whole product, and selling them would end this site's usefulness and its value in one go.

Where we run sponsored placements, they're labelled as such. Our affiliate disclosure explains how we currently make money.

What happens to your email

We use it to reply and nothing else. No mailing list, no passing it on. Ask us to delete the conversation and we will.
