Assumptions: 30 kWh/100 miles (typical modern EV range is ~25–45 on the EPA sticker) and 1,000 miles/month. Rate data: EIA-861M, June 2026. Charging losses add roughly 10% — the calculator's numbers are the energy, not losses.
Common questions
Answered from the data on this page.
How much does it cost to charge an EV per month?
At 30 kWh per 100 miles and 1,000 miles a month — about 300 kWh — the median US residential rate (16.32¢/kWh) puts home charging at roughly $48.96 per month as of June 2026. Cheaper overnight time-of-use plans can beat this.
Which states are cheapest for EV charging?
Home charging at the same efficiency costs about $3.93 per 100 miles in Nevada versus $15.82 in Hawaii — the spread is entirely the state residential rate (latest EIA month). Public DC fast charging carries its own premium on top.
Is it cheaper to charge an EV than buy gasoline?
At the median US residential rate, driving 30 kWh/100 miles costs about $4.90 per 100 miles. Whether that beats gasoline depends on local pump prices and your car’s mpg — compare the per-100-mile figures directly on your own bills and receipts.
Method: cost = efficiency (kWh/100 mi) × miles × state average residential rate (EIA-861M, June 2026). Time-of-use plans, public chargers, and charging losses change real-world costs — see the methodology.
