EV trip cost
Estimate long-distance EV trip cost including charging stops, extra charging time and a petrol benchmark.
Trip cost
| Scenario | Cost | Extra time |
|---|---|---|
| EV | €8.78 | 13 min |
| Petrol | €37.24 | 0 min |
| Saving | €28.46 | 1 |
Stop details
For faster trips, keep charging stops below 80% SoC where charging power is highest.
What makes up EV trip cost
On a longer trip, the cost is shaped not only by electricity price but also by motorway efficiency, the charging reserve you want to keep and how many fast-charging stops the route requires.
This calculator simulates charging in a realistic travel pattern, where shorter stops to 80% often make more sense than one long stop to full. That makes the result far more useful than a simple distance-times-consumption estimate.
Practical EV travel tips
On motorway trips it helps to watch both price per kWh and charger power. In winter, leave a larger buffer because consumption can rise significantly more than in city use.
