Alaska home charging cost for the 2026 Rivian R1S Dual Standard (22in)

In Alaska, home electricity runs 26.86¢/kWh — put a 2026 Rivian R1S Dual Standard (22in)'s EPA-rated 39.9 kWh/100mi against that and 100 miles costs $10.71, versus $16.02 for a gas car averaging 25.5 mpg. Charging at home is cheaper than gas here: 33.1% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

Annual cost, at 15 thousands miles a year

At fueleconomy.gov's default of 15,000 annual miles, the 2026 Rivian R1S Dual Standard (22in) costs roughly $1,607 a year to charge at home in Alaska, against roughly $2,403 a year for an equivalent gas car. That's a savings of about $796 a year.

What one full charge costs

Covering the 2026 Rivian R1S Dual Standard (22in)'s EPA-rated 270-mile range takes about 107.7 kWh, which costs about $28.93 at Alaska's residential rate — figured from the EPA's own combined range and consumption numbers, not the pack's nameplate capacity.

How this compares nationally

This combination ranks 18,113 of 20,400 state/model pairs for cost savings against gas (1 is cheapest). The Rivian R1S Dual Standard (22in) alone ranks 262 of 400 models for efficiency; Alaska alone ranks 44 of 51 states for electricity price.

Before you install a home charger in Alaska

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 Alaska electrician to quote the install before this math becomes a real decision.

Where these figures come from

Every figure on this page traces to a named EIA or EPA dataset — see the methodology guide. At 26.86¢/kWh, Alaska sits in the middle of the national range — the guide to why charging cost varies by state shows where.
