How much does it cost to charge an electric car at home?
Multiply the kWh you add by your electricity price, plus about 10% for charging losses. Off-peak EV tariffs can make home charging much cheaper than public rapid chargers.
Why charge to 80%?
Rapid chargers slow down a lot above 80%, and many manufacturers recommend 80% for daily use to look after the battery.
