EV Charging Cost Calculator
Estimate what home charging costs for your vehicle and driving habits, then compare it with a gas car.
Your EV and driving
Choose a vehicle, then adjust the values you know.
Gas comparison assumptions
$43.21 per month
Estimate excludes charging network fees, taxes, and fixed utility charges.
EV vs. gas
12,000 miles per year with your assumptions.
At 4.11 miles per kWh, your EV stores about 243 kWh for 1,000 miles. Accounting for 90% charging efficiency, it draws 270 kWh from the wall.
At $0.16 per kWh, that is $43.21 per month. The gas comparison uses 25 MPG and $3.50 per gallon.
What the calculation includes
The estimate starts with miles driven and the selected vehicle’s efficiency. Charging loss is added before applying your electricity rate. This separates battery energy from energy billed by your utility.
Gas comparison uses the MPG and fuel price you enter. It compares energy or fuel cost only, excluding maintenance, insurance, depreciation, taxes, and charging hardware.
