Battery Summary
Capacity, health, charge level & range
Alternating current, losses & cost
AC charging is generally more economical and battery-friendly. Lower power stresses the battery less, but longer sessions keep vehicle electronics, thermal management and the onboard charger consuming energy.
If waiting time is not an issue, it is a good choice; evaluate the price advantage together with time-based consumption. Click price rows in the table to see consumption and trip cost details.
Direct current, losses & cost
DC charging transfers more energy in a short time and helps on long trips. Since DC is supplied directly to the battery, the onboard AC charger is bypassed and the short duration can limit auxiliary consumption.
At high power, cables, station hardware and battery thermal management matter; DC unit pricing is often higher. Click price rows in the table to see consumption and trip cost details.

EVCcost — EV Charging Cost Platform
EVCcost is an independent information platform presenting up-to-date kWh unit prices from electric vehicle (EV) charging operators in Turkey and worldwide in one comparative table. View AC and DC charging prices, calculate vehicle-specific costs, and compare in your own currency.
The platform has no commercial relationship with any charging operator or vehicle manufacturer. All data is compiled from publicly available sources and updated regularly. Use is completely free and requires no registration.
How to Use
In the Table view at the top tab, you can see all operators' AC and DC unit prices in sorted order. Filter by country, operator, or price range.
In the Calculator tab, enter your vehicle's battery capacity and current charge level to get a realistic charging cost estimate. Efficiency losses are automatically factored in.
In the Chart Analysis tab, you can visually compare operators and easily find the cheapest option.
What is the Difference Between AC and DC Charging?
AC (Alternating Current) charging works through the vehicle's on-board charger (OBC). Power typically ranges from 3.7 kW to 22 kW. Ideal for overnight home or workplace charging.
DC (Direct Current) fast charging connects directly to the battery, bypassing the OBC. With power levels from 50 kW up to 350 kW, it provides significant range gains in 20–45 minutes. Unit price is generally higher than AC.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is charging cost calculated?
Basic formula: (Target kWh − Current kWh) × Unit Price × (1 + Loss Rate). Loss rate is 10–15% for AC and 5–10% for DC.
How often are prices updated?
When operator prices change, updates reported by our community are reviewed and published. Use the contact form to report incorrect or missing prices.
Which countries are supported?
Charging operators from dozens of countries including Turkey, Europe, North America, and Asia are listed. Use the country filter to focus on your region.
What does EV mean?
EV stands for Electric Vehicle. It is the general name for vehicles powered fully or partly by an electric motor. Main types include BEV battery electric vehicles, PHEV plug-in hybrids, HEV conventional hybrids, and FCEV hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles. On EVCcost, EV usually refers to BEV models because charging prices and kWh costs mainly apply to fully electric vehicles.
