Texas home charging cost for the 2026 Toyota bZ LIMITED (energy capacity 200 Ah)

In Texas, home electricity runs 16.11¢/kWh — put a 2026 Toyota bZ LIMITED (energy capacity 200 Ah)'s EPA-rated 27.5 kWh/100mi against that and 100 miles costs $4.43, versus $16.02 for a gas car averaging 25.5 mpg. Charging at home costs a fraction of what gas would here: 72.4% less than gas per mile, here specifically.
