EV charging cost calculator

What does charging at home cost?

At home we use the marginal price per kWh: the variable supply tariff of a variable-price contract (€0.149) plus energy tax (€0.111), together €0.260 per kWh including VAT. These are the CBS averages for 2026-09 (provisional). CBS publishes no single all-in price per kWh; this sum is our derivation from two CBS figures.

We do not include fixed costs, because you pay them with or without a car: fixed supply €115.23, grid transport €476.87, minus the energy-tax reduction of €628.96 per year. With a dynamic contract or solar panels, enter your own price per kWh.

What does fast charging cost?

Fast charging costs more than home charging. Prices of three networks in the Netherlands, per kWh including VAT, as they show them on their own pages:

IONITY shows the direct price as ‘currently from’; at a station it can be higher. Fastned shows a promotional subscription price (Gold Member) up to and including 31 October 2026. The ANWB gives a range of €0.650 to €0.900 per kWh for fast-charging providers. We could not retrieve prices for Tesla Superchargers (for other brands) and Shell Recharge, so we do not list them; enter those yourself.

What does public AC charging cost?

Ordinary public charge points (AC) are cheaper than fast chargers, but the price varies a lot by charge point and provider:

The calculator fills in the midpoint of the chosen range; that is a derived figure, not a measured price. Adjust it to the charge card or point you use.

How much does an electric car cost per 100 km?

Consumption × price per kWh. Example with three consumptions (examples, not facts) at the home price and at Fastned’s standard price:

The WLTP consumption in a price list is a test value and can differ from your everyday consumption; the average on your trip computer is a better input. Pick a new car above to fill in the WLTP consumption, then adjust it.

Is driving electric cheaper than petrol?

It depends on where you charge and which car you compare with. At 17 kWh/100 km and the CBS petrol price of €2.391 per litre (19 October 2026), this is the average electricity price at which electric costs the same as petrol:

If you mostly charge at home you are well below those prices. If you mostly fast-charge, an economical petrol car can be cheaper. The calculator compares your split with your petrol consumption. See also fuel costs, EV vs petrol and the bijtelling of an electric company car.
