EV details

557 km1-stop range

29 minCharge 10–80%

584 km / 439 kmReal-world range (mild/cold)−25% in winter

Distance with one ~15-min fast charge at 110 km/h (modelled).

Is it enough for your day-to-day?

Your distance per daykm

One charge lasts 7 days in winter (−10 °C) and 10 days in mild weather.

Using real-world range, charged to 80 %, 10 % reserve: 409 km per charge in mild weather, 307 km in winter.

600 km long trip

1 charging stop · +17 minmild

2 charging stops · +37 mincold

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	€29	€5.66
Public AC	€0.50	€43	€8.33
DC fast charging	€0.60	€52	€9.99

Prices from the open assumptions (adjustable in the calculator); consumption = mild real-world incl. charging losses.

Charging curve (DC)

NMC: high energy density (more range), usually charge to ~80% for longevity.
