What this EV charging calculator does — and does not do

  • Home charging cost: miles × EV efficiency × your electric rate. Time-of-use rates can make overnight charging much cheaper than the average bill rate.
  • Gas comparison: miles ÷ MPG × gas price. It is a frame, not a promise — insurance, maintenance and depreciation are outside this tool.
  • Solar next: if the EV load is big, use the solar + EV calculator to size extra panels for the driving load.
