Times and costs are estimates. Real charging varies with temperature, battery condition, charger health and how busy the site is. For trims where the maker has not published a figure, we model it, and that model is usually within 10 to 20% of what you will see.
Where the numbers come from. We use the figures the maker publishes. When a figure is missing we estimate it: usable battery size from the pack size, and the 10 to 80% time from battery size and a typical charge curve. Our model was checked against 69 trims with published times: about two in three were within 10%, and nearly nine in ten within 20%.

Home. Time is the energy added divided by the charger kilowatts times 0.90. The power is the smaller of your charger and what the EV accepts on AC. About 10% of the energy is lost as heat.
Fast charging. Power starts high and tapers as the battery fills. When the maker published a 10 to 80% time, the curve is scaled to match it, then capped at the charger. When that time is estimated, the same curve uses the estimated minutes.
Cost. Energy from the wall times your price, including those losses. Your own rate overrides the state average or the public estimate. Daytime starts at 55¢ and overnight at 30¢, estimates as of Oct 15, 2026. The overnight price is a typical off-peak rate. Other networks, members and areas vary. You can edit either number.
Electricity: EIA residential average, Aug 2026. Gasoline: California regular, week of Oct 19, 2026. Efficiency from live MoovX data (65 kWh ÷ 262 mi EPA) plus a 10% charging-loss factor.
