2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 200 Ah): home charging cost in Minnesota

In Minnesota, home electricity runs 15.98¢/kWh — put a 2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 200 Ah)'s EPA-rated 25.8 kWh/100mi against that and 100 miles costs $4.13, versus $16.02 for a gas car averaging 25.5 mpg. Charging at home costs a fraction of what gas would here: 74.2% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

What a year of driving costs

Driving 15,000 miles a year — fueleconomy.gov's own default assumption — a 2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 200 Ah) charged at home in Minnesota costs about $619/year in electricity, against about $2,403/year for the gas-car comparison. That's a savings of about $1,784 a year.

Cost of a full charge

A 2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 200 Ah) needs roughly 61 kWh to reach its EPA-rated 236-mile range, which runs about $9.74 at 15.98¢/kWh in Minnesota.

How this compares nationally

This combination ranks 1,263 of 20,400 state/model pairs for cost savings against gas (1 is cheapest). The Toyota bZ (energy capacity 200 Ah) alone ranks 10 of 400 models for efficiency; Minnesota alone ranks 26 of 51 states for electricity price.

Before you install a home charger in Minnesota

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