Charging a 2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 200 Ah) at home in Connecticut

In Connecticut, home electricity runs 28.82¢/kWh — put a 2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 200 Ah)'s EPA-rated 25.8 kWh/100mi against that and 100 miles costs $7.45, versus $16.02 for a gas car averaging 25.5 mpg. That works out to 53.5% cheaper per mile than gasoline in Connecticut — charging at home is much cheaper than gas here.
