New Mexico home charging cost for the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV FWD

A 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV FWD draws 31.1 kWh per 100 miles per the EPA; at New Mexico's 14.82¢/kWh residential rate that's $4.61 per 100 miles charged at home, versus $16.02 for a 25.5-mpg gas car covering the same distance.

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.
