EV details

374 km1-stop range

24 minCharge 10–80%

382 km / 290 kmReal-world range (mild/cold)−24% 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 5 days in winter (−10 °C) and 6 days in mild weather.

Using real-world range, charged to 80 %, 10 % reserve: 267 km per charge in mild weather, 203 km in winter.

600 km long trip

2 charging stops · +40 minmild

3 charging stops · +63 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	€19	€5.94
Public AC	€0.50	€28	€8.73
DC fast charging	€0.60	€34	€10.48

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.
