Hi Alex,

How well an EV fits your driving
|
High confidence — Your charging window doesn't cover your driving. That gap is consistent week to week, not a rounding artifact — the fast-charge stops are real.
That puts you in Mostly Easy territory — a very manageable setup.
|
|
Your EV verdict |
READY (OCCASIONAL TOP-UP) |
✅"You can confidently buy an EV, with an occasional fast-charge top-up (about once every 4 weeks)"
You don't need a $1,000–$3,500 charger install — but Level 2 would buy you convenience.
A standard wall outlet covers almost all of your driving; an occasional fast-charge top-up covers the rest. A Level 2 install is optional.

You need about 360 miles a week, but your charging window only delivers about 336. That gap — roughly 24 miles — is what sends you to a fast charger.

What this means for your daily routine
🟡 Mostly Easy
Works well, with occasional planning
Your setup supports most of your driving, but you'll need to think ahead sometimes — like adding a quick charge during busy weeks.
This is very manageable but requires a 'check-in' once a week. Most of the time, you are fine, but on a particularly busy week with extra errands, you might need to stop at a fast charger for 20 minutes while you grab a coffee.

How your score is calculated
80/100 — here's what drives it
|
Home / work charging
· 34% of your score bar
|
| How much of your weekly driving your current setup can recover. A standard wall outlet handles ~280 mi/week. Level 2 handles 1,200+. The bigger the gap between what you drive and what your setup recovers, the lower the score. |
|
Commute
· 34% of your score bar
|
| How many miles you actually drive each week. Higher weekly mileage means your charging setup has more ground to cover — so the same setup can feel effortless at 150 mi/week and demanding at 500 mi/week. |
|
Fast charge
· 16% of your score bar
|
| How many fast-charge stops per week you'd need to make up the gap. Zero stops is ideal. One is manageable. Two or more starts to feel like work. |
|
Seasonal impact
· 15% of your score bar
|
| Cold weather reduces EV efficiency by about 20%. With 4 cold months a year in your area, your winter charging needs are factored in. |
Your score is high because your charging setup recovers more than your weekly driving uses. You have margin built in.

100% = 260 miles.
Left bar = start of day, right bar = end of day.
Under each day: miles at the start, miles at the end, and battery % at the end.
+ = miles recovered overnight after that day.

Your charging setup
Home charging (L1)
Recovers approximately 336 miles/week.
| Home charging cost | $24.12/week |
Based on IL's average electricity rate of $0.24/kWh.
Your outlet covers most of your driving — but at 384 miles/week, you'll need about 1 fast-charge stop every 4 weeks to cover the gap.
| Cost per session | $31.43 |
| Weekly fast-charge cost | $8.29 |
| Monthly fast-charge cost | $36 |
Level 2 upgrade — what you actually need
Based on your 384 miles/week, here's the right L2 charger for your situation:
| Recommended | 32-amp Level 2 charger |
| Estimated install cost | ~$750 |
| Fast charges after upgrade | 0 sessions/week |
| Payback period | ~21 months |
At your driving volume, a standard Level 2 charger would fully cover your weekly driving with no fast charging needed.
Each week that's about 14.4 kWh from fast chargers to cover 48 miles (your EV goes ~3.3 mi per kWh).

Recommended charging setup
Level 1 mostly works
Home wall outlet charging covers most of your driving, but you'll occasionally need a fast charge.

Gas vs EV — your real numbers
You'd save $825/year
Based on your 384 miles/week in IL.
|
Gas car |
Your EV |
| Weekly | $48.27 | $32.40 |
| Monthly | $209 | $140 |
| Annual | $2,510 | $1,685 |
You'd save $69/month — $825/year by switching.
How your gas cost is calculated
384 miles ÷ 28 MPG × $3.52/gal = $48.27/week
How your EV cost is calculated
Home charging: $24.12/week (336 miles recovered)
Fast charging: about 1 fast-charge stop every 4 weeks, about $31.43 each ≈ $8.29/week
Total EV cost: $32.40/week

Financial advantages
The hidden maintenance advantage
Beyond fuel, an EV eliminates oil changes, spark plugs, and transmission fluid flushes. In IL, that typically saves owners an additional $400–$600 per year in scheduled maintenance.
5-year total cost savings
$6,625 fuel + maintenance
|
|
Your local electricity rate |
$0.24/kWh avg. residential rate in IL
At this rate, your charging costs about $140/month ($1,685/year) based on your driving pattern.
Your actual rate depends on your utility and plan. Time-of-use and EV rate plans often charge noticeably less for overnight charging — sometimes half this rate or better. Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Carbon impact
5.1 tons CO₂/year saved
IL runs on a cleaner than average electric grid. Compared to a gas car of similar size.
|
|
|
Winter stops get longer · IL
IL has ~4 cold months/year. Cold weather reduces EV range — here's how your routine changes:
| Summer | 1 session/week |
| Winter | 1 session/week |
Plan a consistent charging location now so it doesn't catch you off guard when temperatures drop.
You'll make the same number of fast-charge stops all year, but winter stops have to put back more: about 72 extra miles a week. Expect to arrive at the charger with less left in the battery during cold months.
