Enter your e-bike's battery capacity, range per charge, and your electricity rate to see cost per charge and per mile.
E-bike charging cost is often so small it's easy to overlook — even frequent daily commuting typically adds only a few dollars a year to an electricity bill.
An e-bike battery is tiny compared to an EV's — often 400-700Wh versus tens of thousands of watt-hours — so even at the same electricity rate, the cost per mile is a small fraction of driving a car, whether gas or electric. This makes e-bikes one of the cheapest transportation options available, worth comparing against the EV cost per mile calculator for trips where either could work.
E-bike charging typically costs a small fraction of a cent per mile, dramatically less than even an efficient EV's cost per mile, let alone a gas car — though e-bikes obviously can't replace every trip a car can.
Reduced range from battery aging modestly increases cost per mile over time since the same charge covers fewer miles, but the effect is small in absolute dollar terms given how cheap e-bike charging already is.
