Vehicle ownership impact evaluations are implemented by a host system having logic executable thereon. The logic calculates mileage indicative of a roundtrip for a commute received from a user. The logic also acquires terrain data for the commute from a database containing topological information. The logic uses the routing information, in conjunction with a timestamp associated with input from the user, to access a database containing climate information for a geography identified from the routing information, and determines an estimated climate for a time of year via the timestamp. The logic receives an identifier for a vehicle from the user, and retrieves specification data for the vehicle via the identifier. The logic further applies the specification data to the mileage, the estimated climate, the terrain data, and a base energy price, and calculates estimated costs for the commute in terms of energy consumed for the round trip by the vehicle.
