Before you use the result

Consumption describes energy used by the vehicle. Charging loss is the share of electricity drawn that does not reach the battery: 10% loss means dividing battery energy by 0.90. If your consumption already includes charger losses, set loss to zero to avoid counting it twice. Return journeys assume the same distance back. Enter total parking, tolls, connection and other fees in extra charges; unentered fees are excluded. Prices are editable examples, not live tariffs. Vehicle details do not change energy use automatically.

Calculations run locally unless you choose “Email my estimate”. That action sends your figures to the server for recalculation and email delivery, without saving inputs or results in the calculator database. Enter your own email address. BMI requires separate explicit consent to emailing health data and any ethnicity details you provide. Other site features and mail providers have their own processing. Read the privacy policy.
