Net cycle energy-price benefit calculator

Subtract loss-adjusted charging purchases from avoided peak energy cost before fees and cycling wear.

B=Eout×(ppeak−poff×100RTE)B = E_{\text{out}} \times \left(p_{\text{peak}} - \frac{p_{\text{off}} \times 100}{\mathrm{RTE}}\right)

Worked example

Given

  • EoutE_{\text{out}} = 500 kWh
  • ppeakp_{\text{peak}} = 0.19 $/kWh
  • poffp_{\text{off}} = 0.07 $/kWh
  • RTE\mathrm{RTE} = 85 %
B=500×(0.19−0.07×10085)≈53.824B = 500 \times \left(0.19 - \frac{0.07 \times 100}{85}\right) \approx 53.824
