Massachusetts home charging cost for the 2027 Chevrolet BOLT

In Massachusetts, home electricity runs 30.06¢/kWh — put a 2027 Chevrolet BOLT's EPA-rated 28.2 kWh/100mi against that and 100 miles costs $8.48, versus $16.02 for a gas car averaging 25.5 mpg. Charging at home is much cheaper than gas here: 47.1% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

What a year of driving costs

At fueleconomy.gov's default of 15,000 annual miles, the 2027 Chevrolet BOLT costs roughly $1,271 a year to charge at home in Massachusetts, against roughly $2,403 a year for an equivalent gas car. That's a savings of about $1,132 a year.

Cost of a full charge

Covering the 2027 Chevrolet BOLT's EPA-rated 262-mile range takes about 73.9 kWh, which costs about $22.21 at Massachusetts's residential rate — figured from the EPA's own combined range and consumption numbers, not the pack's nameplate capacity.

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.
