2027 Chevrolet BOLT: home charging cost in Oregon

At Oregon's residential electricity rate of 15.31¢/kWh, a 2027 Chevrolet BOLT (rated 28.2 kWh per 100 miles by the EPA) costs $4.32 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: 73.1% 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 2027 Chevrolet BOLT charged at home in Oregon costs about $647/year in electricity, against about $2,403/year for the gas-car comparison. That's a savings of about $1,755 a year.

Cost of a full charge

How this compares nationally

This combination ranks 1,783 of 20,400 state/model pairs for cost savings against gas (1 is cheapest). The Chevrolet BOLT alone ranks 30 of 400 models for efficiency; Oregon alone ranks 21 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.
