The EV charging cost calculator estimates the cost to charge your electric vehicle based on battery size, current charge level, and local electricity rates.
Enter battery capacity, current charge percentage, and your electricity rate (check utility bill). The calculator shows kWh needed, charge cost, and cost per mile comparison with gas vehicles.
EVs typically cost much less to "fuel" than gas vehicles. This calculator helps understand operating costs and demonstrates one of the key financial benefits of electric vehicles.
