Tennessee home charging cost for the 2026 Kia EV9 Standard Range RWD

At Tennessee's residential electricity rate of 13.9¢/kWh, a 2026 Kia EV9 Standard Range RWD (rated 38 kWh per 100 miles by the EPA) costs $5.28 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: 67% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

What a year of driving costs

At fueleconomy.gov's default of 15,000 annual miles, the 2026 Kia EV9 Standard Range RWD costs roughly $792 a year to charge at home in Tennessee, against roughly $2,403 a year for an equivalent gas car. That's a savings of about $1,611 a year.

Cost of a full charge

Covering the 2026 Kia EV9 Standard Range RWD's EPA-rated 230-mile range takes about 87.4 kWh, which costs about $12.15 at Tennessee's residential rate — figured from the EPA's own combined range and consumption numbers, not the pack's nameplate capacity.

How this compares nationally

This combination ranks 5,925 of 20,400 state/model pairs for cost savings against gas (1 is cheapest). The Kia EV9 Standard Range RWD alone ranks 219 of 400 models for efficiency; Tennessee alone ranks 13 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.
