per month

Monthly cost of the same sessions, comparing your home tariff against typical public DC fast charging. Solar is excluded here so you see the raw tariff difference.

How this is calculated

  • Energy drawn from the source for a full charge = usable battery ÷ charger efficiency. A 90% charger loses ~10% to heat and cabling.
  • Solar usage offsets that share of the energy as free, so only the grid portion is billed.
  • Cost per km = cost per full charge ÷ real-world range.
  • A session adds your charging percentage of the battery; the monthly cost is that session × charges per month.
  • Home vs public compares the same sessions at your home tariff against typical public DC fast charging, with solar set aside.

Charge cheaper at home

A home wallbox pays for itself versus public DC charging.
