Disclosure: I build these datasets and run the site they’re published on, so this is a self-promotion post per rule 1.
I’ve been compiling comparable car-cost data across 36 countries – the kind of cross-country tables that don’t really exist anywhere else (most sources are single-country). Two newest releases:
– Cost of getting a driving licence in 36 countries, next to average salary, as a share of a month’s pay. It’s 112% of a month’s net pay in the Netherlands, 94% in Japan, but 8% in Mexico City (where there’s no practical test).
– Public DC fast-charging prices in 30 countries (pay-as-you-go, per kWh and per 100km). The UK is the most expensive in the world at about $1.06/kWh, roughly 6x India.
Earlier sets in the same family: 5-year total cost of ownership, first-year car tax, and home EV charging – all 36 countries.
Sources & method: national statistics offices, driving-school associations, official fee schedules, GlobalPetrolPrices and published operator tariffs – every row carries its own source URL and date.

Happy to answer questions about any country’s numbers, or add columns people want.
