Iowa home charging cost for the 2026 Rivian R1T Performance Dual Max (20in)

A 2026 Rivian R1T Performance Dual Max (20in) draws 42 kWh per 100 miles per the EPA; at Iowa's 13.77¢/kWh residential rate that's $5.78 per 100 miles charged at home, versus $16.02 for a 25.5-mpg gas car covering the same distance. Charging at home is much cheaper than gas here: 63.9% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

What a year of driving costs

Cost of a full charge

Covering the 2026 Rivian R1T Performance Dual Max (20in)'s EPA-rated 380-mile range takes about 159.5 kWh, which costs about $21.96 at Iowa'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 8,379 of 20,400 state/model pairs for cost savings against gas (1 is cheapest). The Rivian R1T Performance Dual Max (20in) alone ranks 301 of 400 models for efficiency; Iowa alone ranks 9 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.
