How this estimate works
Charging cost is distance × energy use × charging price. Gas cost is distance × fuel use × gas price. Prices are in Canadian dollars and can be changed to match your area.
It doesn’t include charging losses, idle or session fees, or the charge you start with from home, so treat it as a ballpark.
