The EPA figure for this record is 32.1 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: $700/year — assumes 15,000 miles/year and EPA price assumptions. The figures above use your inputs instead.
Cost per mile vs. its segment (2026 Standard Sport Utility Vehicle 2WD, 37 vehicles, default assumptions)
67% below the segment median — a measured energy-cost difference only.
