2026 Volkswagen ID.4: home charging cost in Arizona

A 2026 Volkswagen ID.4 draws 29.8 kWh per 100 miles per the EPA; at Arizona's 15.45¢/kWh residential rate that's $4.6 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: 71.3% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

What a year of driving costs

Driving 15,000 miles a year — fueleconomy.gov's own default assumption — a 2026 Volkswagen ID.4 charged at home in Arizona costs about $690/year in electricity, against about $2,403/year for the gas-car comparison. That's a savings of about $1,713 a year.

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.
