2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 191 Ah): home charging cost in Louisiana

A 2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 191 Ah) draws 25.5 kWh per 100 miles per the EPA; at Louisiana's 13.51¢/kWh residential rate that's $3.45 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: 78.5% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

Annual cost, at 15 thousands miles a year

Driving 15,000 miles a year — fueleconomy.gov's own default assumption — a 2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 191 Ah) charged at home in Louisiana costs about $517/year in electricity, against about $2,403/year for the gas-car comparison. That's a savings of about $1,886 a year.

Filling up the 2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 191 Ah), in dollars

A 2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 191 Ah) needs roughly 80.1 kWh to reach its EPA-rated 314-mile range, which runs about $10.82 at 13.51¢/kWh in Louisiana.

How this compares nationally

This combination ranks 131 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; Louisiana alone ranks 8 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.

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