South Dakota home charging cost for the 2026 Kia Niro Electric

In South Dakota, home electricity runs 14.33¢/kWh — put a 2026 Kia Niro Electric's EPA-rated 30 kWh/100mi against that and 100 miles costs $4.3, versus $16.02 for a gas car averaging 25.5 mpg. Charging at home costs a fraction of what gas would here: 73.2% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

Annual cost, at 15 thousands miles a year

Filling up the 2026 Kia Niro Electric, in dollars

Covering the 2026 Kia Niro Electric's EPA-rated 253-mile range takes about 75.9 kWh, which costs about $10.88 at South Dakota's residential rate — figured from the EPA's own combined range and consumption numbers, not the pack's nameplate capacity.

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.
