Electric vehicles · Charging cost
Start with efficiency.
Include grid losses.
Turn miles, vehicle efficiency, electricity price, and charging loss into energy from the grid and cost per mile.

Uses one blended electricity rate. Utility time-of-use pricing, public-network session fees, idle fees, temperature, driving conditions, and battery preconditioning can change actual cost.Battery energy ÷ charging efficiency × electricity rate.
Charging loss represents energy drawn from the grid that does not reach the battery. Use a bill-based blended rate or the applicable time-of-use rate, and model public charging separately when its price differs.
