Showing United States · 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.

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 math you can trust — every figure is yours to change.
We split your trip into the miles you can cover on a home charge (starting around 90% full) and the rest, which needs public fast-charging. The cost combines cheap home energy for the first leg with the public rate for the remainder, each adjusted for charging losses. Stops are estimated from how far you go between 20–80% charges, at about 35 minutes each, and the gas comparison uses your MPG and pump price. Defaults reflect current US figures — adjust them to your car. Estimates only, not financial advice.
Road trips lean on DC fast-charging once your first charge runs out — pricier than home power, but usually still cheaper per mile than gas.
Public fast-charging on Tesla Supercharger, Electrify America and EVgo runs roughly 35–60¢/kWh, versus a home rate near 17–18¢ — Tesla Supercharger member pricing is typically the cheapest. The trip total depends on your car's highway efficiency, battery size (which sets how often you stop) and the network you use. Against gas at ~$4 a gallon it's usually still the cheaper option, and planning stops around meals and rest breaks makes the extra time barely noticeable.
