Cost of a full charge

Covering the 2026 Kia Niro Electric's EPA-rated 253-mile range takes about 75.9 kWh, which costs about $22.82 at Massachusetts's residential rate, figured from the EPA's own combined range and consumption numbers, not the pack's nameplate capacity.

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.
