How to use this charging-window calculator correctly
What this calculator is for
Use it when you want to know whether your current charging window is really long enough before you spend money on a bigger charger or a more complex setup.
What makes the result reliable
The most useful input is a realistic daily driving pattern. If your routine swings a lot by weekday, rerun the tool with a heavier day instead of trusting only the average.
How to read the result
A comfortable result usually means you should avoid overbuying charger power. A borderline or short result means the next decision is often more time or more AC power, not smarter app features.
What changes the answer fastest
Window length usually matters before charger features do
If your cheap-rate or solar window is short, extending the usable charging time often helps more than paying for a charger with better software.
Real EV efficiency matters more than brochure range
A cold week, highway-heavy driving, or a larger EV can move the result quickly. That is why this calculator uses a practical efficiency assumption rather than a best-case one.
Higher AC power only matters when the current window is genuinely tight
If your routine already fits comfortably, moving from a wallbox to a bigger wallbox rarely changes your real-world outcome. It matters when the current window is the bottleneck.
