Electricity cost multiplied by the car's WLTP efficiency rating.
Based on cents per kWh:

$/100 km
{wh}
Wh/km (WLTP)
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%.
Dashboard Economy
Electrical energy consumed from the battery over a given distance.
{wh}
Wh/km
{kwh}
kWh/100 km
{km}
km/kWh
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 public 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 Soul EV was never sold new in NZ (all are used imports). The 2018-2019 year had a slightly larger battery (31.8 kWh), and slightly longer range. The pre-2020 soul suffers from similar battery degradation issues as early Nissan Leafs. From 2020 onwards the Soul has a much larger 64 kWh battery with a 452 km range.
