EV Charging Cost & Time Calculator

Estimate how long a charge will take and what it will cost, from a home wallbox to a public rapid charger.

Time and cost assume a constant charging speed for simplicity — in reality, DC rapid and ultra-rapid charging tapers off well before 100%, which is why most EV drivers only rapid-charge up to around 80%. Charger power, pricing and efficiency are editable estimates, not live tariffs — adjust them to match your own charger and electricity rate.
