IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PlugCost is an educational and informational tool designed to help users understand and estimate potential electric vehicle charging costs.
All costs, savings, charging times, energy usage and comparison figures shown by the app are estimates only. They should not be treated as actual bills, supplier quotations, financial advice or guaranteed costs.
Electricity rates included in the app are provided as reference information and are not live supplier prices. Tariffs, vehicle specifications, battery capacity, charging efficiency, weather conditions, charger performance and other factors may cause actual costs and charging times to differ.
Estimates may exclude standing charges, parking fees, idle fees, membership or subscription fees, additional network charges and charging sessions that cross different tariff periods. DC charging-time calculations use a generic charging curve and may not reflect the exact behaviour of a particular vehicle.
Always check your current electricity tariff, charging-provider prices and the official specifications for your vehicle before making financial, travel or charging decisions.
PlugCost and its developer accept no responsibility or liability for losses, costs, charges, damages or decisions arising from the use of, or reliance on, estimates or information provided by the app.
PlugCost is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or officially associated with any vehicle manufacturer, charging network, electricity supplier or other company referenced within the app.
By using PlugCost, you acknowledge that all calculations are approximate and are provided for educational and informational purposes only.
