What This EV Cost Per Mile Calculator Does
This electric vehicle cost calculator determines your real driving cost using:
- Electricity price per kWh
- Vehicle energy consumption (kWh per 100 km or kWh per mile)
- Charging efficiency loss
- Optional currency conversion
It works for all EV brands including Tesla, Volkswagen, BMW, Hyundai and Kia.
How to Calculate EV Cost Per Mile
The formula behind the EV cost per mile calculator is simple and transparent.
Step 1: Determine Energy Consumption
Most EVs consume:
- 15–22 kWh per 100 km
- Or 0.24–0.35 kWh per mile
Example vehicle consumption:
18 kWh per 100 km
Step 2: Multiply by Electricity Price
If electricity costs €0.30 per kWh:
18 × 0.30 = €5.40 per 100 km
To calculate cost per km:
€5.40 ÷ 100 = €0.054 per km
To calculate cost per mile:
€5.40 ÷ 62 = €0.087 per mile
So your electric car cost per mile is about €0.09.
Example: Tesla Cost Per Mile
Let’s calculate using a typical 75 kWh battery vehicle from Tesla.
Assume:
- Consumption: 17 kWh per 100 km
- Electricity price: $0.16 per kWh
Step 1:
17 × 0.16 = $2.72 per 100 km
Cost per km:
$2.72 ÷ 100 = $0.027
Cost per mile:
$2.72 ÷ 62 = $0.044
So the Tesla cost per mile is roughly 4–5 cents per mile at this electricity price.
This answers one of the most searched questions:
How much does it cost to drive a Tesla per mile?
EV Cost Per KM Calculator Formula
The calculator uses:
Cost per km = (kWh per 100 km × Electricity Price) ÷ 100
If charging efficiency is 90%, the formula adjusts:
(kWh per 100 km ÷ 0.90) × Electricity Price ÷ 100
Including efficiency makes your estimate more realistic.
A professional EV electricity cost calculator always accounts for losses.
Compare EV vs Petrol Cost Per Mile
To compare:
Petrol car example:
- 7 L per 100 km
- Fuel price: €1.80 per liter
7 × 1.80 = €12.60 per 100 km
Cost per km:
€0.126
Compared to EV:
€5.40 per 100 km → €0.054 per km
EV driving is often 50–70% cheaper per distance.
Use this calculator to compare real-world driving cost.
Public Charging vs Home Charging Cost Per Mile
Home Charging Example
- €0.25 per kWh
- 18 kWh per 100 km
18 × 0.25 = €4.50 per 100 km
€0.045 per km
Fast Charging Example
- €0.60 per kWh
18 × 0.60 = €10.80 per 100 km
€0.108 per km
Fast charging can double your cost per mile.
That’s why a public EV charging price calculator is helpful for trip planning.
