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

In Alaska, home electricity runs 26.86¢/kWh — put a 2026 Rivian R1S Performance Dual Max (22in)'s EPA-rated 39.9 kWh/100mi against that and 100 miles costs $10.73, versus $16.02 for a gas car averaging 25.5 mpg. Charging at home is cheaper than gas here: 33% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

What a year of driving costs

At fueleconomy.gov's default of 15,000 annual miles, the 2026 Rivian R1S Performance Dual Max (22in) costs roughly $1,609 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 $794 a year.

Filling up the 2026 Rivian R1S Performance Dual Max (22in), in dollars

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.
