How do I estimate EV commute costs?

Enter your EV efficiency in kWh per 100 miles and your local electricity rate. Home charging is typically cheaper than public fast charging.

Should I include parking?

If you pay for daily or monthly parking at work, including it gives a more accurate total commute cost.
