EV Charging Calculator

Estimate grid energy, cost, and charging time from battery capacity, charge levels, and power.

Charging time, hours

Grid energy, kWh

Cost
8

How the calculation works

Battery energy = capacity × charge change/100; grid energy = battery energy/efficiency; time = grid energy/average input power.

Inputs

  • Usable battery capacity, kWh
  • Starting charge, %
  • Target charge, %
  • Charging efficiency, %
  • Average input power, kW
  • Price per kWh

Calculation details

Enter average charging input power rather than the advertised peak. Power commonly falls at high charge levels.

Efficiency allows for losses. Idle fees, session fees, and battery preconditioning are not modeled separately.
