Understanding EV Charging Costs
How It Works: This calculator estimates the cost to charge your EV based on your battery size, desired charge level, and local electricity rate. Most EV owners charge to 80% for daily use to preserve battery health.
Charging Tips:
- Charge during off-peak hours for lower rates (if your utility offers time-of-use pricing)
- Home charging is typically 50-70% cheaper than public fast charging
- Level 2 home chargers (240V) are more efficient than Level 1 (120V)
- Most EVs get 3-4 miles per kWh of energy
Environmental Impact: EVs produce zero direct emissions. Even when accounting for electricity generation, EVs typically produce 50% less CO₂ than gas vehicles over their lifetime.
