Idaho home charging cost for the 2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 191 Ah)

At Idaho's residential electricity rate of 12.8¢/kWh, a 2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 191 Ah) (rated 25.5 kWh per 100 miles by the EPA) costs $3.26 to drive 100 miles on home charging, against $16.02 for the same distance in a car averaging 25.5 mpg on gasoline at $4.085/gallon. Charging at home costs a fraction of what gas would here: 79.6% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

Annual cost, at 15 thousands miles a year

At fueleconomy.gov's default of 15,000 annual miles, the 2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 191 Ah) costs roughly $490 a year to charge at home in Idaho, against roughly $2,403 a year for an equivalent gas car. That's a savings of about $1,913 a year.

Cost of a full charge

Covering the 2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 191 Ah)'s EPA-rated 314-mile range takes about 80.1 kWh, which costs about $10.25 at Idaho'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 48 of 20,400 state/model pairs for cost savings against gas (1 is cheapest). The Toyota bZ (energy capacity 191 Ah) alone ranks 7 of 400 models for efficiency; Idaho alone ranks 3 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.
