How to estimate EV charging cost

A simple estimate is energy added in kWh multiplied by the electricity price per kWh. If charging from 20% to 80% on a 60 kWh battery, the nominal energy added is 60 × (0.80 − 0.20) = 36 kWh. At ₹8 per kWh, that is ₹288 before charging losses or extra fees.

Actual wall energy can be higher because charging is not perfectly efficient. Battery capacity shown by a vehicle may be usable capacity rather than the advertised gross capacity; public chargers can also have session, parking or time-based fees. Use your tariff and charger bill for the closest estimate.

This is a cost estimate, not a prediction of driving range. See the EV range calculator for a separate range estimate and the trip cost calculator for road-trip planning.
