Showing Canada · real 2026 prices
Enter your distance and car. We'll estimate the charging cost, how many fast-charge stops you'll need, time spent charging — and how it compares to fuel.
Pick a route or type your own distance.
Estimate only. Assumes you start with a full home charge, then top up 20→80% at fast chargers (~35 min each). Real cost depends on charger speed, network and conditions.
Transparent maths you can trust — every figure is yours to change.
We split your trip into the distance you can cover on a home charge (from ~90% full) and the rest, which needs public fast charging, each adjusted for losses. Stops come from how far you go between 20–80% charges (~35 min each); the petrol comparison uses your L/100km and pump price. Defaults reflect Canadian figures; your province sets the home-charging rate. Estimates only, not financial advice.
Canada's long distances make road-trip charging matter — but it's usually still cheaper than gas.
Once your home charge is used up you rely on public DC fast charging (FLO, Petro-Canada, Tesla, Electrify Canada) at roughly 35–55¢/kWh — more than home but typically still below gas at $1.50–1.90 a litre per kilometre. Fast-charger coverage is good along major corridors and thinner in remote areas, so plan stops on long hauls. Cold winters also cut range noticeably, so allow extra in the colder months.
