How to use this tool

  1. Enter battery energy to add, electricity price, charging efficiency.
  2. Select Calculate to view the result.
  3. Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.

The method, explained

Purchased energy = battery energy/(efficiency/100). Cost = purchased energy × price.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Using battery energy to add = 40 kWh, electricity price = 0.25 money/kWh, charging efficiency = 90 %, the result is 11.1111111 currency. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.

What to keep in mind

Excludes connection, parking and time-based fees. Planning arithmetic based on your inputs. It does not include live traffic, road restrictions, fares or service availability.
