Real charging losses can make the electricity drawn from the grid higher than the battery energy stored.
Real charging losses can make the electricity drawn from the grid higher than the battery energy stored.
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.
