You can calculate the range left based on the actual state of charge or you can also calculate the distance you’ll be able to drive after charging your car to a certain battery level. If you have some difficulties using our tool, we’ve created a step-by-step guide to assist you during the estimation. Simply follow the instructions below.
At the maximum output of 22 kW, an hour’s charging will provide roughly 120 km (75 miles) to your battery’s range. Even lower power outputs of 7.4 kW and 11 kW will charge your EV much faster than Level 1 charging, adding 40 km (25 miles) and 60 km (37 miles) of range per hour respectively.
Yet many people still believe the average range of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) needs to increase before they will choose one over a petrol or diesel car. According to the SMMT, the average range of an electric car is 236 miles, which is three times the average distance driven in a week.
If you have a driveway and can park your car beside your house, then you can just plug it straight into your domestic mains electricity supply. The problem is this is slow. It will take many hours to fully charge an empty battery, depending of course on how big the battery is.
Fast-charging systems can provide a significant amount of power in a short period, with some reaching an 80 percent charge in just 30 minutes. However, it’s crucial to carefully handle the charging process to avoid overheating, as this can negatively impact battery health.
Our interactive online tool helps you estimate the range of your EV based on the battery size, the state of charge, and the vehicle’s energy consumption. You can calculate the range left based on the actual state of charge or you can also calculate the distance you’ll be able to drive after charging your car to a certain battery level.
