How the calculation works
Battery energy = usable battery kWh × distance ÷ range. Accepted wall power is the lower of charger rated AC output and vehicle maximum AC acceptance. Estimated battery-side power = accepted wall power × efficiency. Time uses battery-side power; cost uses wall energy.
Important limits
Range and charging vary with conditions and charging taper. Home-load output is arithmetic only and does not approve an installation.
