Enter your scooter's battery capacity, range, and your electricity rate to see cost per charge and per mile.
Charging cost is a small part of scooter ownership cost — tires, brake pads, and eventual battery replacement typically matter more to total cost of ownership over time.
Like e-bikes, electric scooters use a small battery compared to an EV, keeping running cost negligible — the practical constraints (range, weather, road conditions) matter far more than energy cost for most riders deciding whether a scooter fits their commute.
Yes — with a typical 300-500Wh battery, even daily charging adds up to only a few dollars a year in most areas, similar in scale to charging a laptop regularly.
Like most lithium batteries, scooter batteries lose some capacity over hundreds of charge cycles, gradually reducing range per charge — see the battery depth of discharge calculator for related battery longevity factors.
