New EVs like the Lexus ES 350e normally come with a complimentary portable charger that plugs into a standard 10A power point. It's handy for top-ups but takes about 32.7 hrs to fully charge the battery. A 7 kW wall charger does it in 10.7 hrs.
A full charge costs $4.97 at home on an EV plan at $0.07/kWh, and $24.85 on a typical flat tariff of $0.35/kWh. At a public DC charger at up to $0.70/kWh it costs $49.70. A petrol large car uses about 9.8 L/100 km, which at $2.00 a litre costs $19.60 per 100 km.
| Where You Charge | Full Charge | Per 100 km | Per Year | Saving vs Petrol |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol large car | Not applicable | $19.60 | $2,940 | Not applicable |
| Home, flat rate $0.35/kWh | $24.85 | $4.87 | $730 | $2,210 |

Using Zecar's estimated highway range of 444 km and an average of 100 km/h: A 500 km trip needs 1 fast charging stop of about 28 minutes, for a total trip time of about 5 hr 28 min. A 1,000 km trip needs 2 fast charging stops of about 28 minutes each, 56 min in total, for a total trip time of about 10 hr 56 min.
| Trip | Charging stops | Charging time | Total trip time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 km | 1 | 28 min | 5 hr 28 min |
| 1,000 km | 2 | 56 min | 10 hr 56 min |
Total trip time is driving at an average of 100 km/h plus charging time. Estimates assume a start at 100%, arrival at no less than 10% and charging from 10% to 80% at a 150 kW-capable charger. Real times vary with weather, speed, load and charger.
