Iowa home charging cost for the 2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 200 Ah)

At Iowa's residential electricity rate of 13.77¢/kWh, a 2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 200 Ah) (rated 25.8 kWh per 100 miles by the EPA) costs $3.56 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: 77.8% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

Before you install a home charger in Iowa

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.
