2026 Volvo EC40: home charging cost in Ohio

In Ohio, home electricity runs 18.53¢/kWh — put a 2026 Volvo EC40's EPA-rated 31.7 kWh/100mi against that and 100 miles costs $5.87, versus $16.02 for a gas car averaging 25.5 mpg. Charging at home is much cheaper than gas here: 63.4% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

Annual cost, at 15 thousands miles a year

Driving 15,000 miles a year — fueleconomy.gov's own default assumption — a 2026 Volvo EC40 charged at home in Ohio costs about $881/year in electricity, against about $2,403/year for the gas-car comparison. That's a savings of about $1,522 a year.

What one full charge costs

A 2026 Volvo EC40 needs roughly 94.4 kWh to reach its EPA-rated 298-mile range, which runs about $17.5 at 18.53¢/kWh in Ohio.

How this compares nationally

This combination ranks 8,770 of 20,400 state/model pairs for cost savings against gas (1 is cheapest). The Volvo EC40 alone ranks 82 of 400 models for efficiency; Ohio alone ranks 34 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.
