Iowa home charging cost for the 2026 Volvo EC40 Twin

A 2026 Volvo EC40 Twin draws 34.8 kWh per 100 miles per the EPA; at Iowa's 13.77¢/kWh residential rate that's $4.8 per 100 miles charged at home, versus $16.02 for a 25.5-mpg gas car covering the same distance. Charging at home costs a fraction of what gas would here: 70.1% 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 Volvo EC40 Twin costs roughly $720 a year to charge at home in Iowa, against roughly $2,403 a year for an equivalent gas car. That's a savings of about $1,683 a year.

What one full charge costs

Covering the 2026 Volvo EC40 Twin's EPA-rated 268-mile range takes about 93.4 kWh, which costs about $12.86 at Iowa's residential rate — figured from the EPA's own combined range and consumption numbers, not the pack's nameplate capacity.

Where this ranks

This combination ranks 3,550 of 20,400 state/model pairs for cost savings against gas (1 is cheapest). The Volvo EC40 Twin alone ranks 144 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.
