Charging price and trip cost: how to use
Every charge costs something different: cheap at home, expensive at a fast charger. In Yoldaş you can enter your own price per kWh for each charge, and trip cost is calculated from those prices.
Last updated: October 11, 2026
What is it for?
A cost based on one electricity price is not realistic: home charging is cheap and fast charging is expensive. When you enter each charge’s own price, trip cost follows the real average cost of the energy in your battery, so Yoldaş’s estimate gets close to what you actually spend.
Where to find it
Statistics tab › Charging sessions: a price line under each charge. Default price: Account › Electricity price. Trip cost: Estimated cost in the trip details.
- Enter your default electricity price
On your phone, tap the profile icon at the top right, then fill in Electricity price on the Account page. Charges without their own price use it.
- Open the charging sessions
In the Statistics tab, scroll down to the Charging sessions list.
- Tap the price line under a charge
Each charge has a price line, for example “3 ₺/kWh · ₺180”. Tap it to open the editor.
- Type the price and save
Enter the price per kWh for that charge (for example 3.25 or 12.50) and tap Save. The amount on the line updates too.
- Enter the receipt kWh if you like
If you type the energy the station printed in the kWh on the receipt field, the amount is calculated with exactly that energy. If you leave it empty, an estimate with a loss allowance is used.
- Check the trip cost
Open a trip. Under Estimated cost you will see which price was used. The period cost in Statistics is calculated the same way.
- Go back to the default price if you like
Tap Use default price in the editor and that charge uses the default electricity price again.
Things to know
- A charge price is saved against the moment the charge started, so a charge is never priced twice.
- A charge without a price does not distort the average: the default price is used if it exists, otherwise it is left out of the mix.
- Prices and currency are estimates; this is not an invoice.

Frequently asked questions
What is a weighted average?
The battery is treated as a mix of energy bought at different prices. If a 60 kWh battery was filled at home at 3 ₺/kWh, the average is 3 ₺. If you then add 30 kWh at a fast charger for 12 ₺/kWh to a half-full battery, the mix is (30×3 + 30×12) ÷ 60 ≈ 7.5 ₺/kWh. Later trips use that average.
What if I do not enter a price?
A charge without a price uses the default electricity price. If there is no price at all, no cost is shown, only the energy (kWh).
Can I enter prices for old charges?
Yes. You can set a price on any charge in the list; trip cost uses the charges before that trip. Prices for the latest 200 charges are kept.
Where are the prices stored?
In your account, together with your vehicle preferences. The same prices appear on every phone you sign in to with that account.
Why is the cost an “estimate”?
Charging losses, station fees and the car’s energy measurement mean the real amount can differ slightly. Yoldaş uses the energy reported by the car and the prices you entered.
How do I change the currency?
Use the currency option on the Account page. The prices you enter are in the selected currency.
What is the kWh on the receipt for?
The station shows the energy it drew from the grid on the receipt or in its app. That is a few kWh more than what reached the battery (charger and cable losses, and the car notices the start a few seconds late). If you enter the receipt kWh, the amount is calculated with exactly that energy. If you do not, Yoldaş adds a loss allowance of 4% for fast (DC) charging and 10% for slow (AC) charging to the energy that reached the battery; this is an estimate. As you enter receipt values, Yoldaş learns your own ratio and uses it for later estimates.
