Claimed ranges are measured in test conditions. Traffic, speed, load and weather usually bring it down, so use your own figure if you know it.

Charging

Some electricity is lost as heat in the charger. 10% is our assumption, not a manufacturer figure.

How this is worked out

Cost of a charge = battery kWh ÷ (1 − charging loss) × price per kWh

Cost per km = cost of a charge ÷ range per charge

The petrol figure is the petrol price divided by the claimed mileage. These are energy costs only. They leave out insurance, servicing, tyres, a possible battery replacement, any purchase subsidy, and the higher price of public fast charging.
