North Carolina home charging cost for the 2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 191 Ah)

In North Carolina, home electricity runs 14.9¢/kWh — put a 2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 191 Ah)'s EPA-rated 25.5 kWh/100mi against that and 100 miles costs $3.8, versus $16.02 for a gas car averaging 25.5 mpg. Charging at home costs a fraction of what gas would here: 76.3% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

Annual cost, at 15 thousands miles a year

At fueleconomy.gov's default of 15,000 annual miles, the 2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 191 Ah) costs roughly $570 a year to charge at home in North Carolina, against roughly $2,403 a year for an equivalent gas car. That's a savings of about $1,833 a year.

Cost of a full charge

Covering the 2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 191 Ah)'s EPA-rated 314-mile range takes about 80.1 kWh, which costs about $11.93 at North Carolina'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 523 of 20,400 state/model pairs for cost savings against gas (1 is cheapest). The Toyota bZ (energy capacity 191 Ah) alone ranks 7 of 400 models for efficiency; North Carolina alone ranks 18 of 51 states for electricity price.
