EV Charging Cost Calculator
Calculate accurate charging costs for your electric car in India. Compare home AC electricity bill expenses with highway public DC fast chargers.
Calculate EV Charging Cost
Select your electric car, adjust your battery percentage, and set your local electricity tariff rate.
Auto-populates battery capacity, charging limits, and real-world efficiency.
Adjust starting and target battery levels to calculate session energy.
Set your exact home DISCOM slab rate or public charging station price per unit.
Charging Nexon EV (10% → 80%) via AC tariff.
How the EV Charging Cost is Calculated
Step 1: Net Energy Required (kWh)
First, the tool computes the net capacity to be added to the battery pack:
Then it factors in real-world charging losses (12% for AC wallboxes, 7% for DC fast stations) to compute the grid units drawn from the meter.
Step 2: Total Session Bill (₹)
The total units billed are multiplied by the applicable electricity tariff:
Worked Example: A Tata Nexon EV with a 40.5 kWh battery charging 10% to 80% on Home AC draws approx 31.75 kWh @ ₹8.00/unit = ₹254.00.
