Full charge is the EPA range multiplied by the EPA energy use (kWh per 100 miles, which already counts charging losses), so it is the energy to go from empty to full from the wall, not the battery size. Real range and cost vary with speed, weather and load. Home price is the US residential average (18.3¢/kWh, July 2026); use the calculator for your own rate. Public prices are the median listed per-kWh rates in the federal database.
