Common questions

Which state has the cheapest EV charging at home?

North Dakota, at 12.46 cents per kWh, which is $4.63 per 100 miles for the median model year 2026 EV. Hawaii is the most expensive at 46.41 cents, or $17.23 per 100 miles (EIA residential average, Year-to-Date through August 2026).

How much does it cost to charge an EV at the US average price?

At 18.19 cents per kWh the median 2026 EV (37.13 kWh per 100 miles) costs about $6.75 per 100 miles, or $750 over 11,106 miles.

Is an EV cheaper to charge than gas in every state?

For the median EV against the median regular-gasoline car at $4.28 a gallon, charging at home costs less in 51 of 51 places. The gas price used is the national average, so a very high or low local gas price changes the result.

Where do these numbers come from?

Electricity prices are the EIA residential average by state (Year-to-Date through August 2026). Energy use and mpg are EPA and DOE fueleconomy.gov data for model year 2026. Gas is the national average from fueleconomy.gov. Default miles are the FHWA average per light vehicle (2023). The formulas are shown on each state page.
