Study Notes
Calculating Estimated Charging Time
- Estimated charging time is calculated by dividing the useable battery capacity (kWh) by the charger's power (kW)
- The charge rate slows down as the state of charge exceeds 80%
Calculating Estimated Cost of Charging an EV
- Estimated cost of charging is calculated by multiplying the tariff (p/kWh) by the battery capacity (kWh) and then multiplying by 100
- The cost of charging depends on the provider, tariff, and off-peak hours
Calculating Estimated Efficiency of an EV
- Estimated efficiency is calculated by dividing the WLTP range (combined) by the useable battery capacity (kWh)
- Efficiency scores are categorized as Excellent (5.0+), Good (4.0-4.9), Average (3.0-3.9), and Poor (0-2.9)
Home Charging - Annual Assumed Running Cost
- Annual home charging cost is calculated based on the assumptions of only home charging, 7kW home charger, charging during off-peak hours, and Octopus Energy as the provider
- The cost depends on the tariff, off-peak hours, and number of charging sessions required
