How to Use This Calculator

This environmental impact calculator helps you understand the carbon footprint reduction and sustainability benefits of your EV charging infrastructure. For example: "If I install 10 charging bays that each serve 2 cars per day, how much CO₂ will be prevented annually?"
The tool calculates the difference between petrol car emissions and EV electricity emissions, giving you concrete metrics for ESG reporting, sustainability communications, and environmental impact assessment.
This will help you quantify your contribution to corporate net-zero targets and communicate environmental benefits to stakeholders.
Enter the total number of charging points at your location
Select the power rating that matches your charging infrastructure
Estimate how many different vehicles use each charger daily
Time spent actively charging (excludes idle/connection time)
Range Added: During a 3-hour session at 7.4kW charging rate, approximately ~78 miles of driving range is added to the EV battery
Select how many days per week your charging station operates
Choose your electricity supply based on its carbon intensity
