This Electricity Cost per 100 km Calculator helps you estimate the exact cost of riding your electric bike or scooter.
By using your battery capacity, voltage, realistic range, and electricity price, it calculates the total energy consumption per 100 km and converts it into charging cost.
Tip: You must use your own currency in above calculator. Just enter number value it will calculate accordingly.
How the Electricity Cost per 100 km is Calculated
Your energy consumption per 100 km depends on:
- Battery capacity in Wh or Ah × Voltage
- Actual usable range per full charge
- Electricity price per kWh
- Riding conditions (wind, weight, terrain)
The calculator first converts your battery capacity into Wh (Watt-hours), then into kWh, and finally estimates the electricity used per kilometer. That value is scaled to 100 km and multiplied by your electricity rate.
Typical eBike Electricity Consumption
- City riding: 6–10 Wh/km
- Mixed terrain: 10–15 Wh/km
- High power / off-road: 15–25 Wh/km
This means most eBikes cost between $0.15 and $0.40 to ride 100 km in many countries — incredibly cheap compared to petrol bikes or cars.
Factors That Increase Electricity Usage
- Heavy rider weight
- Strong headwind
- Hilly terrain
- Thick tires with high rolling resistance
- High-speed riding
Tip: Riding smoothly and keeping speed below 30 km/h saves up to 30% battery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is electricity cost for eBikes really that cheap?
A: Yes. Most eBikes use less than 1 kWh to travel 100 km, making them one of the cheapest transport options.
Q: Do larger batteries cost more to charge?
A: Not always. Larger batteries often give more range, so cost per 100 km remains similar.
Q: How does speed affect energy consumption?
A: Higher speeds dramatically increase wind resistance, causing more electricity usage per km.
Q: Can I calculate cost for eScooters or eMotorcycles?
A: Yes. This calculator works for any electric vehicle using battery capacity and range.
