2026 Rivian R1S Dual Standard (20in): home charging cost in Nebraska

At Nebraska's residential electricity rate of 12.7¢/kWh, a 2026 Rivian R1S Dual Standard (20in) (rated 42.9 kWh per 100 miles by the EPA) costs $5.44 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 costs a fraction of what gas would here: 66% 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 Rivian R1S Dual Standard (20in) charged at home in Nebraska costs about $817/year in electricity, against about $2,403/year for the gas-car comparison. That's a savings of about $1,586 a year.

What one full charge costs

A 2026 Rivian R1S Dual Standard (20in) needs roughly 110.6 kWh to reach its EPA-rated 258-mile range, which runs about $14.05 at 12.7¢/kWh in Nebraska.

How this compares nationally

This combination ranks 6,690 of 20,400 state/model pairs for cost savings against gas (1 is cheapest). The Rivian R1S Dual Standard (20in) alone ranks 312 of 400 models for efficiency; Nebraska alone ranks 2 of 51 states for electricity price.

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.
