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

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%.
Economy
Electrical energy consumed from the battery over a given distance.

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 Tesla Model S was sold in NZ from 2015 onwards. A large number of variations are on the secondhand market, starting from the 60 kWh battery models, right up to the 100 kWh performance models.
2017 was the peak year for Model S sales. Sub-models include the 60, 60D, 70, 70D, 75, 75D, 75R, 85, 85D, P85, 90, 90D, 100D, P100D.
