EV details
Distance with one ~15-min fast charge at 110 km/h (modelled).
Is it enough for your day-to-day?
One charge lasts 3 days in winter (−10 °C) and 5 days in mild weather.
Using real-world range, charged to 80 %, 10 % reserve: 200 km per charge in mild weather, 155 km in winter.
Fixed reference (roughly Munich–Berlin): leave full, arrive with a 10% reserve, and charge only what the rest of the trip needs (80% max — past that the curve goes flat). Modelled from real-world range and the charging curve.
Mild means ≈ 23 °C, cold ≈ −10 °C without pre-heating — the same for every car, so the figures compare.
What does charging cost?
| €/kWh | Full charge | per 100 km | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home (wallbox) | €0.34 | €16 | €6.44 |
| Public AC | €0.50 | €23 | €9.47 |
| DC fast charging | €0.60 | €28 | €11.36 |
Prices from the open assumptions (adjustable in the calculator); consumption = mild real-world incl. charging losses.
Charging curve (DC)
LFP: affordable & durable, fine to charge to 100% daily, weaker in cold.
