Set up your charging session

Choose a version to see its charging limits and continue.

In the calculator you can change percentages, power, tariff and conditions. For a household socket, ask a qualified professional to check that the installation is suitable for EV charging.

How much does charging cost?

Compare batteries using your tariffs. Initial values of 0.30 and 0.65 €/kWh are examples, not offers or market averages.

Supply energy = usable capacity × charge change ÷ (1 − losses). Costs cover energy only, excluding subscriptions and other charges. Actual losses vary with power, installation and temperature.

Example from 20–80%, with assumed losses of 10%.

Internal calculator estimates are not shown as WLTP consumption or range. These data will be added after the exact version is verified.

German January 2025 price list, page 4: 73.5 and 90 kWh net. Two battery versions for each capacity; BaaS swaps may change available peak power. DC 240 kW requires optimum conditions and a 660 A station; the note limits a 500 A station to 185 kW. 240 kW is not promised at every station.

AC charging time from 20–80%

Energy stored in this window is approximately 54 kWh. With 10% losses, estimated supply energy is 60 kWh.

Simplified estimate: stored energy ÷ 0.90 ÷ effective power. Power is the lower of available power and the version's AC limit. Constant power is assumed: installation, phases, temperature and battery management can extend time. Listed powers are calculation scenarios, not an installation assessment.

How to use these results

A 22 kW AC station cannot exceed the onboard charger limit. For Nio EL8, the individual version figures in the table are more useful than the commercial name alone. Also check available power and installation phases.

Estimated cost multiplies supply kWh by your tariff. DC charging follows a curve and cannot be calculated by dividing energy by peak power. Sources and reference windows are listed for each version.
