Charging a 2026 Volvo EX40 at home in Texas

A 2026 Volvo EX40 draws 31.7 kWh per 100 miles per the EPA; at Texas's 16.11¢/kWh residential rate that's $5.11 per 100 miles charged at home, versus $16.02 for a 25.5-mpg gas car covering the same distance. That works out to 68.1% cheaper per mile than gasoline in Texas — charging at home costs a fraction of what gas would here.

What a year of driving costs

Cost of a full charge

At Texas's rate, fully covering this 2026 Volvo EX40's 296-mile EPA range costs about $15.12 (93.8 kWh) — the energy the EPA test actually used, not the battery's rated size.
