2026 Volvo EC40: home charging cost in Texas

In Texas, home electricity runs 16.11¢/kWh — put a 2026 Volvo EC40's EPA-rated 31.7 kWh/100mi against that and 100 miles costs $5.1, versus $16.02 for a gas car averaging 25.5 mpg. Charging at home costs a fraction of what gas would here: 68.1% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

Getting set up to charge a 2026 Volvo EC40 at home

Ask a licensed Texas electrician to quote the install before this math becomes a real decision.
