Arkansas home charging cost for the 2026 Volkswagen ID.4
In Arkansas, home electricity runs 13.43¢/kWh — put a 2026 Volkswagen ID.4's EPA-rated 29.8 kWh/100mi against that and 100 miles costs $4, versus $16.02 for a gas car averaging 25.5 mpg. Charging at home costs a fraction of what gas would here: 75% 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 Volkswagen ID.4 costs roughly $600 a year to charge at home in Arkansas, against roughly $2,403 a year for an equivalent gas car. That's a savings of about $1,803 a year.
What one full charge costs
Covering the 2026 Volkswagen ID.4's EPA-rated 291-mile range takes about 86.7 kWh, which costs about $11.64 at Arkansas's residential rate — figured from the EPA's own combined range and consumption numbers, not the pack's nameplate capacity.
Where this ranks
This combination ranks 927 of 20,400 state/model pairs for cost savings against gas (1 is cheapest). The Volkswagen ID.4 alone ranks 53 of 400 models for efficiency; Arkansas alone ranks 6 of 51 states for electricity price.
Before you install a home charger in Arkansas
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 Arkansas 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. Arkansas's 13.43¢/kWh rate ranks 6 of 51 states; the state rate guide lays out the full spread.
