Efficiency listed on your EV's dashboard shows energy consumed from the battery.
But running cost must use the WLTP electric energy consumption rating that includes power consumed during charging. Charging losses are typically between 7-12%.

Vehicle consumption is displayed on the dashboard and is re-calculated as you drive. It is different to the WLTP rated consumption (which measures power from the mains).
This number is estimated by comparing the usable battery capacity against the WLTP range.
The maximum speed the EV can charge at home or a public AC charger.
An EV has a built-in charger that converts household AC electricity into DC current that goes into the battery.
This limits the maximum speed you can charge at home - no matter what extra equipment you install. Some public chargers (such as at motor camps and shopping malls) are also AC only.
Fast Charge ⚡
The maximum speed the EV can charge at a DC fast charger.
Speed is also limited by the capacity of the public charger. In NZ, fast chargers are typically 25 kW, 50 kW, 100 kW, 175 kW, and 300 kW.
Temperature (20°+ is ideal) and battery state-of-charge affect speed (an empty battery charges faster).
The Hyundai IONIQ is New Zealand's 6th best selling battery electric vehicle - see top 10
The IONIQ Electric debuted in NZ in late 2016. This first edition (model year 2017) had an 88 kW motor, a 28 kWh battery and around 230 km of range. The Series II edition appeared in 2019 with more range and power. The IONIQ has been a popular choice for fleet vehicles.
The Series II IONIQ Electric has been a preferred choice of fleet vehicles. Despite its relatively modest battery and engine performance, its efficiency allows a more extended range than similar vehicles.
However, for an extra $10k, the Tesla Model 3 is superior in almost every sense and explains why it outsells the IONIQ by ten to one.
