Formula and method

Cost = Capacity × (to − from) ÷ efficiency × price

Worked example

With battery capacity = 75 kWh, from charge level = 20 %, to charge level = 80 %, electricity price = 0.15 $/kWh, charging efficiency = 90 %, the EV Charging Cost Calculator returns charging cost: $7.50; energy drawn from grid: 50.00 kWh; range added: 158 miles.

Tips for better results

  • Use your real-world fuel economy rather than the window sticker.
  • Depreciation is often the largest hidden cost of owning a car.
  • Gig drivers should track every mile — it changes net hourly pay dramatically.
