The EPA figure for this record is 24 kWh per 100 miles. If your car reports Wh per mile, divide by 10; if it reports miles per kWh, divide 100 by it. Your number replaces the EPA values and is never averaged with them.
Off by default: every mile is priced at the single electricity rate above. Turn this on to price home, off-peak and public charging separately.
Per fueleconomy.gov cold-weather guidance for 20°F short city trips — off by default.
Notes & official EPA estimate
- EPA electricity consumption is measured from the wall outlet, so typical home AC charging losses are already included. Public DC fast-charging prices, extreme temperatures, and driving style can change real-world cost.
Official FuelEconomy.gov estimate: $550/year — assumes 15,000 miles/year and EPA price assumptions. The figures above use your inputs instead.

Official EPA efficiency
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| City electricity use | 22.7 kWh/100 mi |
| Highway electricity use | 25.5 kWh/100 mi |
| Combined electricity use | 24.0 kWh/100 mi |
| EPA label MPGe (city/hwy/combined) | 148 / 132 / 141 |
MPGe is the EPA's energy-equivalent rating, not miles per gallon of fuel. It is shown for reference and never used in these cost calculations.
