EV Heat Pump Battery Degradation Calculator

Estimate how heat-pump energy throughput may contribute to annual equivalent battery cycles and modeled capacity loss. The estimate combines driving energy, climate energy, calendar loss, and a user-entered degradation rate per cycle.

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter values that match the vehicle, charging station, and operating period.
  2. Use displayed units consistently and enter percentages as whole numbers.
  3. Select Calculate to update every result.
  4. Change one assumption at a time to compare scenarios.
  5. Use Reset to restore the example values.

Formula

Annual throughput = driving energy + heat-pump power × operating hours. Equivalent cycles = throughput ÷ usable capacity. Modeled loss = calendar loss + cycles × loss per cycle.

This is a planning model; actual EV and charger performance can vary with temperature, equipment, and operating conditions.

What the result means

The main result summarizes the modeled outcome from your inputs. Secondary results expose the energy, time, capacity, or cost components so you can identify which assumption drives the estimate.

Example calculation

At 12,000 miles, 0.29 kWh/mile, 1.3 kW for 300 hours, 72 kWh capacity, 0.025% per cycle, and 1.5% calendar loss, modeled annual degradation is 2.84%.

Frequently asked questions

Which inputs have the greatest effect on the ev heat pump battery degradation calculator result?

The energy, power, time, or utilization inputs that appear directly in the formula have the greatest effect. Change one input at a time to compare scenarios.

Does this ev heat pump battery degradation calculator use real vehicle or station telemetry?

No. It is a planning estimate based only on the values you enter and does not connect to a vehicle, battery-management system, charger, or utility account.

How should I enter charging efficiency and percentage values?

Enter percentages as displayed numbers, such as 90 for 90%. The calculator converts them to decimal form internally.

Why might the actual result differ from this estimate?

Temperature, battery conditioning, charging curves, vehicle limits, tire condition, station sharing, fees, and driving conditions can change real-world results.

Can I use this result to compare two scenarios?

Yes. Calculate the first scenario, note the results, then change one or more inputs. The reset button restores the example defaults.
