Is it enough for your day-to-day?

Your distance per daykm

One charge lasts 3 days in winter (−10 °C) and 4 days in mild weather.

Using real-world range, charged to 80 %, 10 % reserve: 199 km per charge in mild weather, 153 km in winter.

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	€6.22
Public AC	€0.50	€23	€9.15
DC fast charging	€0.60	€28	€10.99

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.
