What to do with the number
Charging losses vary with temperature, charging power, battery conditioning and vehicle efficiency. Use your utility’s time-of-use rate if you normally charge during a specific off-peak window.
Planning estimate
Use this result as a starting point, not a guarantee. Product specifications, site conditions, manufacturer guidance, local codes, taxes, labor, tolerances, and rounding can change the real requirement or cost.
