EV Range & Charging Simulator

The usable battery capacity, usually a few kWh less than the advertised gross figure. Range scales directly with it.

Your car’s consumption at a steady 90 km/h in mild weather — the anchor that the speed and temperature corrections scale from. The trip computer is a good source.

The speed you actually hold on the highway. Aerodynamic drag grows with speed squared, so 130 km/h costs roughly 30% more per km than 110.

The outdoor temperature for the trip. Cold slows the battery chemistry and adds heating load: −10 °C costs about a third more energy than a mild day.

• Off: no cabin conditioning load.
• Heating: a steady ~1.5 kW heater draw below 5 °C.
• Air conditioning: a smaller cooling load on hot days.

The share of the trip spent at your cruising speed; the remainder is modelled as 50 km/h city driving, where an EV is at its most efficient.

Passengers and cargo beyond the driver. Weight matters less than in a petrol car thanks to regenerative braking — about 2% more consumption per 100 kg.

The power of your AC wallbox, or the car’s onboard-charger limit if that is lower. 11 kW is a common home wallbox; a household socket manages only about 2.3 kW.

The peak DC fast-charge power the car accepts. The 10→80% estimate applies a realistic taper above 50% charge, so the average rate is lower than this peak.
