How a trip’s cost is worked out

Each kWh leaving the battery costs the price of the charges that filled it, in proportion to their kWh. So a trip after a charge at home costs less than after a Supercharger. The cost shows when the trip ends, in the Cost section of its page, with the energy used and the energy price.

Parking stops have a cost too: the energy lost while parked (standby, Sentry Mode…).

Reliability

Energy that comes from charges without a price is counted at the average price of your charges of the same type (AC or DC) that have one. So the page shows High reliability, Medium reliability or Low reliability, depending on how much of the energy is valued at its actual price. At first, it shows Building history, until the car has charged enough.

For an exact cost, give your charges a price: with an electricity plan or by entering their price.

Compared with fuel

In Trips › Insights, the Compared with Fuel card shows what the same trips would have cost in a fuel car: Estimated savings or Estimated extra cost.

To set it up, tap the bottom row of the card (Enter the fuel price the first time), then enter:

• the Consumption of your former car, or of a similar model;
• the Fuel Price you pay at the pump.

Choose each one’s Unit if needed, then tap Save.
