4form_title: EV Charging Cost
5form_description: Calculate the true cost of charging an electric vehicle. Compare home charging vs public charging and vs gasoline.
6form_inputs: Battery capacity|capacity{kWh}, Home price|home_price{€/kWh}, Public price|public_price{€/kWh}, Annual km|km_year{km}, Consumption|consumption{kWh/100km}, Gasoline price|gas_price{€/L}, Gas consumption|gas_consumption{L/100km}
7form_outputs: Home charge cost|home_cost, Public charge cost|public_cost, Gasoline cost|gas_cost, Annual savings vs gas|savings, Cost per km home|cost_km_home
