2026 Fiat 500e: home charging cost in Alabama

A 2026 Fiat 500e draws 29.2 kWh per 100 miles per the EPA; at Alabama's 16.58¢/kWh residential rate that's $4.84 per 100 miles charged at home, versus $16.02 for a 25.5-mpg gas car covering the same distance. Charging at home costs a fraction of what gas would here: 69.8% less than gas per mile, here specifically.
