Massachusetts home charging cost for the 2026 Volvo EX40

At Massachusetts's residential electricity rate of 30.06¢/kWh, a 2026 Volvo EX40 (rated 31.7 kWh per 100 miles by the EPA) costs $9.53 to drive 100 miles on home charging, against $16.02 for the same distance in a car averaging 25.5 mpg on gasoline at $4.085/gallon. Charging at home is much cheaper than gas here: 40.5% 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 Volvo EX40 costs roughly $1,429 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 $974 a year.

Cost of a full charge

Covering the 2026 Volvo EX40's EPA-rated 296-mile range takes about 93.8 kWh, which costs about $28.21 at Massachusetts'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 16,999 of 20,400 state/model pairs for cost savings against gas (1 is cheapest). The Volvo EX40 alone ranks 83 of 400 models for efficiency; Massachusetts alone ranks 49 of 51 states for electricity price.

Before you install a home charger in Massachusetts

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