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 Y is New Zealand's 2nd best selling battery electric vehicle - see top 10
The Tesla Model Y is an all-electric compact SUV. It was first unveiled in March 2019 and began USA deliveries in March 2020.
The Model Y is built on the same platform as the Model 3 and shares over 90% of its parts with the Model 3. It has a higher roof and taller seating position, and its cargo area is about 10% larger.
