Our home charger for our Ioniq5 shows @czds and my power used in charging giving additional driving range:
• 58.6689kWh gives 197 miles/317km
• 61.2326kWh gives 211 miles/339.6km

Let’s use 60kWh of charging to get 200 miles or 322km of range.

For us that would cost about US$11 (fully loaded bill, e only $5.62). At your electricity rate, what would that cost you?

At 25¢, that would be $15.

What would 200mi/322km cost in fossil fuels?
