Battery capacity: 71kWh
Batteries are an electric vehicle’s fuel tank. The more energy they can store (measured in kilowatt-hours – kWh), the more they’ll cost to fully charge. Your chosen vehicle’s battery capacity is shown here.
Vehicle range: 189.5 miles
Electric vehicles are tested over a variety of city, rural and highway road conditions, to produce the ‘combined’ average shown.
Electricity is billed by the kilowatt-hour (kWh), similar to paying for a litre of fuel. You’ll find that cost on your most recent utility bill, or on the website of whichever charging network you’re using. The figure used here is a national average for topping up at home.

Miles per gallon (MPG) is provided by vehicle manufacturers to indicate how many miles the vehicle can travel on a gallon of petrol or diesel. You can find the Official MPG in the manufacturer handbook or on OEM website. It is widely recognised that the Official MPG figures overstate what is achievable – this can be 30% less than the Official MPG figure. Based on 2019 average. Source: DfT.

The information provided by this electric vehicle (EV) versus internal combustion engine (ICE) comparator tool is purely indicative and has been designed to help you make your own decisions – we are not suggesting it is advice or a personal recommendation about the type of vehicle that is most appropriate for your needs.
Calculations are based on the most popular electric vehicles in the UK (based on SMMT data) to give an indication of battery size and range.
Exact figures for your own vehicle should be input to provide an accurate cost per mile figure. Average electricity costs for 2020 have been supplied by the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).
