Editorial Reviewers
Calculator methodology and educational content on ChargeCalcs is reviewed for accuracy by power-engineering academics at FERIT Osijek — the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology at Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek. Reviewer scope tracks each academic's teaching and research focus: power electronics, chargers, and the electricity-rate side of cost on one side; battery storage, range, and degradation on the other. Every calculator and blog post shows the reviewer's name in a byline below the page title.
Reviewers verify methodology and underlying maths. Site owner Dan Dadovic remains responsible for editorial direction, implementation, and the calculator code itself. Disclaimers in /terms and the methodology page apply unchanged.

Doc. dr. sc. Danijel Jerković-Štil
Assistant Professor, FERIT Osijek — Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek.
Scope: Power electronics, inverters, battery management systems, motor control, and grid integration.
Doc. dr. sc. Danijel Jerković-Štil holds an Assistant Professor position at FERIT Osijek, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology at Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek. His teaching and research focus on power electronics, including inverter design, battery management systems, motor control, and grid-tied power conversion.
On ChargeCalcs his review covers the power-electronics side of EV charging: charger sizing and circuit specification, on-board AC charging speed, DC fast-charge power delivery and the BMS taper above 80% state of charge, plus the electricity-rate side of ownership-cost methodology where charging-power-times-tariff drives the maths.

Doc. dr. sc. Damir Topić
Assistant Professor, FERIT Osijek — Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek.
Scope: Photovoltaic systems, solar power engineering, and battery storage for off-grid and hybrid installations.

His teaching and research focus on photovoltaic systems, solar power engineering, and battery storage for off-grid and hybrid installations.
On ChargeCalcs his review covers the battery-storage side of EV ownership: usable capacity and depth-of-discharge, range under load and in cold weather, DC-fast-charging planning over a road-trip route, battery degradation models, and the cost calculators where battery economics — cost per mile, break-even versus gas, lease-versus-buy depreciation — drive the result.
