Utah home charging cost for the 2027 Kia EV3 Long Range AWD

A 2027 Kia EV3 Long Range AWD draws 33 kWh per 100 miles per the EPA; at Utah's 13.17¢/kWh residential rate that's $4.35 per 100 miles charged at home, versus $16.02 for a 25.5-mpg gas car covering the same distance. Charging at home costs a fraction of what gas would here: 72.9% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

What a year of driving costs

What one full charge costs

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.
