How the Calculator Works
The calculator works by determining the energy required to charge your Tesla from the current battery level to the desired battery level:
Formula:
Required Energy (kWh) = (Desired Battery Level (%) – Current Battery Level (%)) / 100 * Battery Size (kWh)
Cost to Charge ($) = Required Energy (kWh) * Cost per kWh ($)
Limitations
Please note:
- The calculator doesn’t account for charging efficiency losses, which can vary.
- Ensure all values are entered correctly for an accurate calculation.
- This is a simplified estimate and actual costs may vary based on your electricity plan and other factors.
