EV Road Trip Cost & Charging Stops Calculator

Estimate charging stops, charging time and cost for a long EV road trip.

Planning a long EV trip

The calculator works out how far you can go on the first leg, how far each later charge gets you, and how many stops that adds up to. Charging time is estimated from your average fast-charging speed, which is usually well below the charger’s headline power.

Always plan stops with a route-planning app that knows live charger availability and add a safety margin for cold weather, headwinds and hills.

Frequently asked questions

Why charge only to 80% at each stop?
Charging slows a lot above 80%, so it is usually quicker overall to stop more often and leave at 80%.
