We summarize publicly available data — no scraping, no external API calls. Figures are calibrated periodically; use the calculators above for your exact inputs.
Home charging on a typical US residential rate (around $0.15–$0.18 per kWh) is the cheapest way to fuel an EV — usually less than half the per-mile cost of gasoline. Public DC fast chargers run $0.35–$0.55 per kWh, narrowing the gap on road trips.
Charging is never 100% efficient. About 8–15% of the energy drawn from the wall is lost as heat. We add this back to your kWh demand so your real bill matches the result.
Most modern EVs deliver 3–4 miles per kWh. Smaller, lighter cars can exceed 4 mi/kWh; large trucks may dip below 2.
Check the most recent page of your utility bill. Use the total cost divided by total kWh for a true blended rate including delivery charges.
Yes — typically 2–3x the cost of home charging. It's still usually cheaper per mile than gas, but the savings shrink.
