Maine home charging cost for the 2026 Toyota bZ AWD

A 2026 Toyota bZ AWD draws 28 kWh per 100 miles per the EPA; at Maine's 29.67¢/kWh residential rate that's $8.31 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: 48.1% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

What a year of driving costs

At fueleconomy.gov's default of 15,000 annual miles, the 2026 Toyota bZ AWD costs roughly $1,246 a year to charge at home in Maine, against roughly $2,403 a year for an equivalent gas car. That's a savings of about $1,157 a year.

Cost of a full charge

Covering the 2026 Toyota bZ AWD's EPA-rated 288-mile range takes about 80.6 kWh, which costs about $23.92 at Maine'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 15,533 of 20,400 state/model pairs for cost savings against gas (1 is cheapest). The Toyota bZ AWD alone ranks 27 of 400 models for efficiency; Maine alone ranks 48 of 51 states for electricity price.

Before you install a home charger in Maine

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 Maine electrician to quote the install before this math becomes a real decision.

Where these figures come from

Every figure on this page traces to a named EIA or EPA dataset — see the methodology guide. Maine has some of the highest residential electricity rates in the country — see the guide to why the cost varies so much by state for the full picture.
