Electricity cost (at {defaultPrice} cents per kWh) multiplied by the car's WLTP efficiency rating.

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).
Most older Zoe's in NZ are the ZE40 variant. However there are a number of ZE50s that were bought in by dealers before the car was removed from sale. The ZE50 has a larger battery (52 kWh) and range (395 km).
Some ZE50s are the higher performance Intens variation (with 100 kW power).
Safety Issues
In late 2021, the European NCAP gave the new 2021 Zoe a score of zero stars. NZ dealers opted to stop selling the Zoe.
However, the configuration sold in NZ was different from the European model used in the NCAP tests and came standard with more safety options.
There is no ANCAP rating as the Zoe was not sold in Australia, so NZ's RightCar site lists no safety ratings at all.
