Charging a 2027 Kia EV3 Long Range GT AWD at home in Hawaii

A 2027 Kia EV3 Long Range GT AWD draws 33 kWh per 100 miles per the EPA; at Hawaii's 45.95¢/kWh residential rate that's $15.16 per 100 miles charged at home, versus $16.02 for a 25.5-mpg gas car covering the same distance. That works out to 5.3% cheaper per mile than gasoline in Hawaii — charging at home costs a little less than gas here.

Annual cost, at 15 thousands miles a year

What one full charge costs

Next step: home charger installation

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