Small Sport Utility Vehicle 2WD — EPA rates this 2026 Volkswagen ID.4 at 291 miles of range and 29.8 kWh per 100 miles, measured at the wall. A full charge therefore draws about 86.7 kWh from the meter, which is 10–15% more than the battery holds, because charging is not perfectly efficient.
Assumptions: 12,000 miles a year, home Level 2 charging, and EPA combined consumption measured at the wall (so charging losses are already included). Gasoline comparison uses $3.50 a gallon at 30 MPG. Change any of these in the calculator.
