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

In Texas, home electricity runs 16.11¢/kWh — put a 2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 191 Ah)'s EPA-rated 25.5 kWh/100mi against that and 100 miles costs $4.11, versus $16.02 for a gas car averaging 25.5 mpg. Charging at home costs a fraction of what gas would here: 74.4% 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 $616 a year to charge at home in Texas, against roughly $2,403 a year for an equivalent gas car. That's a savings of about $1,787 a year.

What one full charge costs

Covering the 2026 Toyota bZ (energy capacity 191 Ah)'s EPA-rated 314-mile range takes about 80.1 kWh, which costs about $12.9 at Texas'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 1,205 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; Texas alone ranks 28 of 51 states for electricity price.

Before you install a home charger in Texas

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.

Where these figures come from

Every figure on this page traces to a named EIA or EPA dataset — see the methodology guide. At 16.11¢/kWh, Texas sits in the middle of the national range — the guide to why charging cost varies by state shows where.
