Methodology and sources
A short, honest walk through how Volora turns a kilometre into a number.
01 — How we calculate
How we calculate
Two parallel calculations — one for your EV, one for the petrol or diesel car you would otherwise drive. The difference is your savings.

You save
Thermal cost − EV cost
kWh = distance × consumption ÷ 100 · Liters = distance × consumption ÷ 100 · CO₂ EV = kWh × g/kWh ÷ 1000 · CO₂ thermal = liters × kg/L
02 — Where the numbers come from
Where the numbers come from
Country defaults
Documented country defaults used by the web calculator and app at launch. For each supported country, the home-electricity baseline relies on reliable country-specific sources; operator charging tariffs are a separate editable layer in the app.
Fresher live data
Where supported, the Volora app refreshes prices and grid carbon from reliable official sources specific to each country. The web calculator stays static for speed and privacy.
Your overrides
Every value is editable in the app — electricity price, fuel price, consumption — per trip and per vehicle.
03 — Honest CO₂ estimates
Honest CO₂ estimates
CO₂ figures are usage-based estimates, not a full lifecycle analysis. Reference factors used: roughly 2.7 kg CO₂e per litre of petrol, 3.1 kg per litre of diesel. Grid carbon varies by country and source quality.
Real values shift with
- Time of charging and grid mix
- Driving style and weather
- Charger type (home, public, fast)
