Alabama home charging cost for the 2026 Rivian R1T Performance Dual Large (20in)

A 2026 Rivian R1T Performance Dual Large (20in) draws 42.9 kWh per 100 miles per the EPA; at Alabama's 16.58¢/kWh residential rate that's $7.11 per 100 miles charged at home, versus $16.02 for a 25.5-mpg gas car covering the same distance. Charging at home is much cheaper than gas here: 55.6% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

Next step: home charger installation

The numbers above assume Level 2 home charging is already in place — the electrical work behind that is a real, separate cost that varies by panel, wiring, and local labor rates, not something this page's per-mile math includes.

Ask a licensed Alabama electrician to quote the install before this math becomes a real decision.
