NoteBattery degradation (passively cooled)
The air-cooled (passive) battery ages faster than liquid-cooled rivals — especially in heat and with frequent rapid charging ("Rapidgate": charging slows down on long trips). State of health varies a lot from car to car, not only by year.
Check: Have the state of health / remaining capacity measured (not just the bars on the display) — most important on early 24 kWh cars (2011–2015). Check 2019–2022 cars by VIN against the rapid-charging fire recall.

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 2 days in winter (−10 °C) and 2 days in mild weather.
Using real-world range, charged to 80 %, 10 % reserve: 113 km per charge in mild weather, 92 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 | €8 | €7.84 |
| Public AC | €0.50 | €12 | €11.53 |
| DC fast charging | €0.60 | €14 | €13.83 |
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.
