Virginia home charging cost for the 2026 Rivian R1S Tri Max (22in)

A 2026 Rivian R1S Tri Max (22in) draws 44.6 kWh per 100 miles per the EPA; at Virginia's 16.69¢/kWh residential rate that's $7.44 per 100 miles charged at home, versus $16.02 for a 25.5-mpg gas car covering the same distance. Charging at home is much cheaper than gas here: 53.6% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

Filling up the 2026 Rivian R1S Tri Max (22in), in dollars

Covering the 2026 Rivian R1S Tri Max (22in)'s EPA-rated 371-mile range takes about 165.4 kWh, which costs about $27.6 at Virginia's residential rate — figured from the EPA's own combined range and consumption numbers, not the pack's nameplate capacity.

How this compares nationally

This combination ranks 14,079 of 20,400 state/model pairs for cost savings against gas (1 is cheapest). The Rivian R1S Tri Max (22in) alone ranks 356 of 400 models for efficiency; Virginia alone ranks 31 of 51 states for electricity price.

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 Virginia electrician to quote the install before this math becomes a real decision.
