EV Charging Calculator

Select your EV, battery level and charging power. The calculator estimates charging time, energy, cost and added driving range — and shows which UGV Chargers power level is technically appropriate.

The calculation is indicative. For DC charging, we use a simplified model that reduces charging power at higher states of charge.

Important: the result is not a guaranteed charging time. Actual charging power is affected by battery temperature and state of charge, the vehicle charging curve, preconditioning, charger power sharing and other conditions. The cost estimate includes modelled charging losses.
How to Read the Result

Higher Charger Power Does Not Always Mean Shorter Charging Time

The vehicle's own charging limit also matters. The calculator therefore compares station power with the selected vehicle's maximum AC or DC charging power.

01

The Vehicle Has Its Own Limit

If a vehicle accepts a maximum of 100 kW DC, connecting it to a 400 kW charger will not make it charge at 400 kW.

02

Charging Power Changes Above 80%

In many EVs, DC charging power gradually decreases as the battery fills. That is why charging from 80% to 100% can take disproportionately longer.

03

The Cost Is an Estimate

You enter your own price per kWh. The actual amount may depend on the tariff, charging operator, parking time and additional fees.

Methodology

How the Calculator Estimates Charging Time

First, the calculator determines the energy required to move from the starting to the target battery level. For AC charging, it uses the lower value of station power and the vehicle's onboard charger limit.

For DC charging, it uses the vehicle's maximum DC charging power and a simplified model of power reduction at higher states of charge. The result is therefore indicative, not a homologated charging figure.

Choose the Charging Typee Based on How Long the Vehicle Is Parked

For the driver, charging time matters. For the operator, vehicle volume, site electrical capacity and how the location is used are equally important.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Does It Take to Charge an EV?+
It depends on battery capacity, starting and target state of charge, charger power and the vehicle's own limits. A specific vehicle-and-charger combination is therefore more useful than one universal charging time.
Why Does DC Charging Slow Down at a Higher State of Charge?+
Battery management usually reduces accepted charging power at higher states of charge. The exact behaviour depends on the vehicle model, battery temperature and charging curve.
Is a Higher-Power Charging Station Always Better?+
Not for every vehicle. An EV can only accept the power it supports. At a commercial location, however, higher station power may make sense because of different vehicles, turnover and future project capacity.
Is the Cost Calculation Exact?+
It is an estimate. The calculator uses your price per kWh and modelled charging losses. A public charging tariff may include additional rules or fees.
How Do I Choose Charging Power for a Business?+
One vehicle model is not enough. You should consider the number of vehicles, parking duration, required ports, available electrical capacity and operating model. These inputs determine whether AC, DC or a combined solution is suitable.
