Running costs
How much could you save charging at home?
Home charging generally costs less per kilometre than relying on public fast chargers — but the gap depends on your rates and your driving. Change the figures to match your own situation.
The defaults are examples only, not current or guaranteed prices. For the full explanation — off-peak tariffs, surplus solar, smart scheduling and where public fast charging still makes sense — read the home charging savings guide.
How much could you save charging at home?
An estimate only. Change any figure to match your own driving, car and rates — the defaults are examples, not current or guaranteed prices.
Example: enter 8.00 for 8¢/kWh
Example: enter 65.00 for 65¢/kWh
Assumptions: charging losses of 10% are added to the energy your driving needs, and the same energy total is priced at both rates. Real results depend on your tariff, how much you charge publicly, solar surplus, and your car. This is general information, not financial advice, and no saving is guaranteed.
