2026 Rivian R1S Performance Dual Max (20in): home charging cost in Alaska

In Alaska, home electricity runs 26.86¢/kWh — put a 2026 Rivian R1S Performance Dual Max (20in)'s EPA-rated 42 kWh/100mi against that and 100 miles costs $11.27, versus $16.02 for a gas car averaging 25.5 mpg. Charging at home is cheaper than gas here: 29.6% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

2026 Rivian R1S Performance Dual Max (20in): yearly cost in Alaska

Driving 15,000 miles a year — fueleconomy.gov's own default assumption — a 2026 Rivian R1S Performance Dual Max (20in) charged at home in Alaska costs about $1,691/year in electricity, against about $2,403/year for the gas-car comparison. That's a savings of about $712 a year.

Cost of a full charge

A 2026 Rivian R1S Performance Dual Max (20in) needs roughly 159.5 kWh to reach its EPA-rated 380-mile range, which runs about $42.84 at 26.86¢/kWh in Alaska.

How this compares nationally

This combination ranks 18,510 of 20,400 state/model pairs for cost savings against gas (1 is cheapest). The Rivian R1S Performance Dual Max (20in) alone ranks 299 of 400 models for efficiency; Alaska alone ranks 44 of 51 states for electricity price.

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.
