calculate kWh costs per km
Calculate the consumption, cost per km, and range of your electric car. Handy EV calculator for electricity and charging costs.
Electric Car Calculator
Calculate range
You can enter km/kWh or kWh per 100 km.Calculate electric car consumption, costs, and range
Do you want to know what an electric car costs per kilometer, how far you can drive on a full battery, or how long charging takes? With this comprehensive electric car calculator, you can easily calculate the consumption, range, and costs of your EV. You can calculate using both kilometers per kWh and kWh per 100 km, so you always use the method you are accustomed to.
Electric driving is often more economical than driving on petrol or diesel, but the actual costs depend on several factors such as consumption, electricity prices, and driving style. With this tool, you get immediate insight into your personal situation.
Electric car consumption: km per kWh or kWh per 100 km
The consumption of an electric car is displayed in two ways:
- Kilometers per kWh (km/kWh) : how many kilometers you drive on 1 kWh of electricity
- kWh per 100 km : how much energy you consume over 100 kilometers
Many electric drivers think in km per kWh, while manufacturers often use kWh per 100 km. In this calculator, you can enter both, and they are automatically converted. This way, you always have a complete picture of your car's energy consumption.
Calculate the range of your electric car
The range indicates how many kilometers you can drive on a full battery. This is calculated based on:
- the battery capacity (kWh)
- consumption (efficiency)
- the current battery percentage
Additionally, you can take into account conditions such as winter weather or driving on the highway. In practice, the range is often lower than the manufacturer's specifications, because factors such as temperature, driving style, and the use of heating or air conditioning affect energy consumption.
Electric car costs per km and per trip
With the calculator, you can immediately see what electric driving costs:
- Costs per kilometer
- Cost of a ride
- Cost of a fully charged battery
The costs depend mainly on the electricity price. Charging at home is usually the cheapest, while fast charging along the highway is more expensive. By testing different scenarios, you gain insight into your actual costs and can plan better.
Calculate loading time
In addition to consumption and costs, you can also calculate how long it takes to charge your electric car. This depends on:
- the battery capacity
- the charging capacity (kW)
- the percentage you want to load
For example: charging from 10% to 80% is often faster than from 80% to 100%. With this tool, you get a realistic estimate of the charging time.
Factors that influence consumption
The consumption of an electric car can vary due to:
- Driving style (hard acceleration increases consumption)
- Speed (higher speed = more energy consumption)
- Temperature (cold results in lower efficiency)
- Use of heating or air conditioning
- Tire pressure and weight of the car
By including these factors in your calculation, you get a more realistic picture of your range and costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is good consumption for an electric car? On average, consumption is between 12 and 20 kWh per 100 km, depending on the type of car and driving conditions.
How much does electric driving cost per kilometer? This depends on the electricity price, but is often between €0.05 and €0.12 per km.
Why does my range differ from the manufacturer's specifications? The manufacturer's specifications are based on ideal conditions. In practice, weather, driving style, and speed cause differences.
