Disclaimer: The figures used for this estimation are based upon average vehicle specifications and your driving profile. The calculation aims to give an approximate figure for the cost of charging your car and should not be taken as a definite number due to a range of unaccountable factors. Some vehicles have superior battery density and improved consumption ie Tesla Model 3

Our EV charging cost calculator helps you estimate how much it may cost to charge your electric vehicle each week in New Zealand. Enter your electricity rate, solar usage, weekly driving distance and vehicle type to get an approximate charging cost. The estimate can help you compare running costs and understand how solar power or off-peak charging may reduce your overall EV charging expenses.

How the EV Charging Cost Calculator Works

Our EV charging cost calculator estimates your average weekly charging cost using four main inputs:

Electricity rate: The amount you pay per kilowatt-hour (kWh).
Solar contribution: The estimated percentage of charging supplied by solar power.
Weekly driving distance: The number of kilometres you typically drive each week.
Vehicle size: Small, medium or large EVs use different amounts of electricity.

The calculator estimates the electricity needed for your weekly driving distance and applies your electricity rate after considering the selected solar contribution.

Estimated weekly charging cost = Weekly electricity usage × Electricity rate

The result is an estimate only. Your actual charging cost may vary depending on your EV model, battery efficiency, charging losses, electricity plan, driving conditions and whether you charge during off-peak hours.
