| Per month | Cheapest AC | Typical AC | Typical DC | Petrol |

One charge, 20–100%
That puts 82.7 kWh into the battery. You are billed for 91.9 kWh, because 9.2 kWh is lost to conversion and thermal management on the way in. On a 7.4 kW AC charger that costs $63.88 and takes about 11 h 11 m. On a 120 kW DC charger: $65.49, roughly 1 h 9 m.
This car uses an LFP (lithium iron phosphate) pack, so charging to 100% regularly is fine — manufacturers recommend it, because a full charge is how the battery management system rebalances cells and keeps the range readout accurate.
Work it out for your own mileage
Consumption figures come from LTA's own homologation data, and the rates are the live medians across Singapore's public charging network. Charging losses are included — you pay for what crosses the charger's meter, not what reaches the battery.
Assumes 10% charging losses on AC and 5% on DC. Distance starts at 1,350 km a month — a 2025 Singapore car averaged 16,200 km a year, per LTA's mileage survey. Petrol price as of 2026-09-05; your actual cost varies with driving style, aircon use and battery condition.
