California home charging cost for the 2026 Rivian R1T Dual Standard (22in)

A 2026 Rivian R1T Dual Standard (22in) draws 39.9 kWh per 100 miles per the EPA; at California's 33.17¢/kWh residential rate that's $13.23 per 100 miles charged at home, versus $16.02 for a 25.5-mpg gas car covering the same distance.

Filling up the 2026 Rivian R1T Dual Standard (22in), in dollars

Covering the 2026 Rivian R1T Dual Standard (22in)'s EPA-rated 270-mile range takes about 107.7 kWh, which costs about $35.72 at California'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 19,613 of 20,400 state/model pairs for cost savings against gas (1 is cheapest). The Rivian R1T Dual Standard (22in) alone ranks 263 of 400 models for efficiency; California alone ranks 50 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.

Ask a licensed California electrician to quote the install before this math becomes a real decision.
