These are the explainers behind the numbers on this site. If a figure on a car page raised a question — why there are two range figures, what a 10-80% time really measures, whether cold weather is as bad as people say — the answer is here, with the sources.
The data-driven pieces — what charging costs per month, whether a 48-amp home charger is worth it, how many kWh a full charge really takes — are on the blog, newest first.

Should you charge your EV to 100%? It depends on the chemistry
“Never charge past 80%” is the most repeated EV advice and it is wrong for a growing share of cars. For LFP packs, manufacturers actively tell…

What an EV battery replacement really costs in 2026
Roughly $10,700 to $15,800 across the cars on this site — and something most owners will never pay, because the warranty outlasts the risk. What the…

What a 10-80% charge time tells you, and why peak kW does not
The Model 3 peaks at 250 kW and the Ioniq 6 at 233 kW, yet the Ioniq 6 finishes a 10-80% charge eleven minutes sooner. Peak…

EV vs Gasoline: Running Costs in Europe (2026)
Charge at home and an electric car costs about a third of petrol in the US and in Europe alike, though EU countries range from 2.2…

EV battery degradation: what 22,700 real cars actually show
The fleet average is 2.3% capacity loss a year, putting a car near 82% after eight years. But heavy DC fast charging doubles the rate. The…

Solid-state vs LFP vs NMC: the EV battery chemistries that matter in 2026
LFP is safer, cheaper and happy at 100% charge. NMC packs more range into less weight. Solid-state is at pilot-line stage and in no car you…
Charging time and cost, car by car
If your question is about one specific car rather than the idea behind it — how long it takes to charge and what it costs to run — those are worked out per model, with US electricity rates and every assumption shown, on the charging time and cost pages.
Browse the database itself
Every car we hold data for, sliced the way people usually narrow a shortlist. These are generated from the database, so they stay right as cars are added.
- All electric cars in the database — every model, with range, charging and efficiency
- By body: SUVs · saloons · pickups
- By drive: rear-wheel drive · all-wheel drive
- By battery: all chemistries explained, or jump to LFP, NMC and NCA cars

If you want the cars sorted rather than the concept explained, the rankings are generated straight from our vehicle database: fastest-charging, most efficient, longest observed range, the biggest gap between claimed and real range, and more.
