How This EV Readiness Calculator Works

This calculator helps assess how well an electric vehicle would fit your lifestyle based on your charging access, driving patterns, and individual needs.

The Calculation

We calculate a readiness score by evaluating your charging situation, typical driving distances, climate factors, and budget considerations.

Key Variables

Key variables include your charging access (home/public), commute distance, frequency of long trips, and local climate conditions.

Assumptions

The assessment assumes current EV technology with typical ranranges of 200-300 mranges of 200-3ranges of 200-300 miles for new models. For extremely long trips, additional planning might be required.
