Charging a 2026 Kia Niro Electric at home in Missouri

A 2026 Kia Niro Electric draws 30 kWh per 100 miles per the EPA; at Missouri's 13.45¢/kWh residential rate that's $4.03 per 100 miles charged at home, versus $16.02 for a 25.5-mpg gas car covering the same distance. That works out to 74.8% cheaper per mile than gasoline in Missouri — charging at home costs a fraction of what gas would here.
