How calculated
8.3 L/100 km x $2.21/L / 100 = $0.18/km
Formula: L/100 km x gas price per litre / 100 = cost per km.
This estimates driving energy only, not total ownership cost. Actual fuel or electricity cost varies with prices, weather, driving, energy-source mix, and vehicle condition.
Vehicle charging
- NRCan-listed recharge time
- 2 hours
NRCan defines this as the estimated time to fully recharge the battery at 240 volts. The imported NRCan value does not specify charging power, connector, or a detailed starting and ending battery percentage. This is not a DC fast-charging estimate.
