Formula
The calculator determines how many kWh you need to charge your battery, multiplies by your provincial electricity rate, then compares to what the same distance would cost in gasoline. EVs average about 6 km per kWh, while gas cars average 8.5 L/100 km.
Preguntas Frecuentes
How much does it cost to charge an EV at home in Canada?
The cost varies by province. Charging a 60 kWh battery from 20% to 80% costs approximately $3.71 in Ontario, $2.70 in Quebec, $4.50 in British Columbia, and $5.58 in Nova Scotia. A full charge (0-100%) on the same battery costs roughly $6.18 in Ontario and $4.50 in Quebec.
How much cheaper is driving an EV vs gas in Canada?
An EV costs roughly $3 to $5 per 100 km in electricity versus $14 to $17 per 100 km in gasoline. Over 20,000 km per year, the average Canadian EV driver saves $1,500 to $2,500 in fuel costs, with the largest savings in Quebec where electricity is cheapest.
Which Canadian province has the cheapest EV charging?
Quebec has the lowest residential electricity rate at approximately 7.5 cents/kWh, making it by far the cheapest province to charge an EV at home. A full charge on a 60 kWh battery in Quebec costs about $4.50. Manitoba and Ontario are the next most affordable provinces for EV charging.
How long does it take to charge an EV at home?
With a Level 2 charger (240V, 30 to 48 amps), a typical EV gains 30 to 50 km of range per hour. A 60 kWh battery charging from 20% to 80% takes about 4 to 6 hours on Level 2. A standard 120V outlet (Level 1) adds only 5 to 8 km per hour and can take 20+ hours for a full charge.
Is it cheaper to charge at home or at a public charger?
Home charging is almost always cheaper. At 10 cents/kWh, home charging costs about $0.017 per km. Public Level 2 chargers charge $1 to $2 per hour or 20 to 35 cents/kWh. DC fast chargers cost 30 to 60 cents/kWh. Home charging saves 50% to 80% compared to public charging networks.
Does EV charging increase my electricity bill significantly?
For a typical Canadian driver (20,000 km/year), home EV charging adds approximately 3,300 kWh per year, which increases your electricity bill by $25 to $50 per month depending on your province. This is significantly less than the $200 to $300 per month most Canadians spend on gasoline.
Should I charge my EV on off-peak hours?
Yes. In Ontario, charging on TOU off-peak (7.4c/kWh) or ULO overnight (2.8c/kWh) instead of on-peak (15.8c or 24.0c) can cut your charging cost by 50% to 80%. Most EVs have built-in charge scheduling that automatically starts charging at a set time each night.
