What Affects the Cost of Charging with Weev?
Several factors determine the cost of charging your EV at home, including:
- Type of Car: Different EVs have varying battery sizes and charging speeds.
- Battery Size: The larger the battery, the more electricity is needed to fully charge it.
- Energy Provider: Your electricity tariff plays a crucial role in determining costs.
- Time of Charging: Charging during off-peak hours can help you save money.
Understanding EV Charging Costs
kW Battery Capacity: This refers to how much charge your battery can hold. The bigger the battery, the more charge it will store. A general rule of thumb is that 1 kW provides around 3.5 miles of range.
For example, a 7.4 kW home charger can give you roughly 30 miles of range per hour of charging.
Charging Speeds and Efficiency
Charging speeds depend on how much charge your battery currently has:
- Top-Up Charging: Most EV drivers don’t wait until their battery is empty. They top up frequently, which is quicker and more efficient.
- Full Charging: A 7.4 kW Weev home charger can charge a 60 kWh battery from empty to full in about 8 hours.
- Partial Charging: To go from 20% to 80% battery, it usually takes 6–8 hours, depending on your charger and car.
- Battery Protection: The charging process slows down when charging from 0–20% and 80–100% to protect the battery’s lifespan.

By using a Weev home charger, you can take advantage of lower nighttime electricity rates. Plugging in your car overnight ensures that your EV is fully charged and ready to go by morning, reducing reliance on public charging stations.
