Which EV calculator should I use?

To estimate charging duration:

Use the EV Charging Time Calculator to calculate hours and minutes for Level 1, Level 2, or DC fast charging with realistic taper curves.

To estimate charging cost:

Use the EV Charging Cost Calculator to calculate the cost to charge at home or public stations based on your local electricity price.

Realistic charging and conversion models

Our EV engines account for onboard charger limits, AC/DC conversion losses, and fast-charge thermal tapering. Read our methodology or sources.
