What one full charge costs

Covering the 2026 Volvo EC40's EPA-rated 298-mile range takes about 94.4 kWh, which costs about $22.64 at Vermont's residential rate — figured from the EPA's own combined range and consumption numbers, not the pack's nameplate capacity.

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.

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