EV Charging Cost Calculator

Full charge cost is calculated with the formula: Battery Capacity (kWh) x Electricity Price ($/kWh). The cost per kilometer is found by dividing the full charge cost by the vehicle range. For example, with a 60 kWh battery, 400 km range, and $0.12/kWh electricity, the full charge cost is $7.20 and the cost per km is $0.018.

In terms of cost per kilometer, electric vehicles are generally 3-5 times more economical. However, purchase cost, maintenance expenses, and vehicle depreciation should also be included in the total cost calculation.

Home charging uses residential electricity rates and is generally the most economical option. Station charging comes in two types: AC (slow) and DC (fast). DC fast charging stations are generally 2-3 times more expensive than home charging but can provide 80% charge in 30-60 minutes.
