CC ChargeCostFinder

The question this site answers

"Is an EV cheaper to charge than gas" doesn't have one national answer — it depends on your state's electricity rate and the specific EV's efficiency. ChargeCostFinder crosses real EIA residential electricity rates for all 51 states with real EPA efficiency ratings for 400 current EV models, giving 20,400 real state-and-model answers instead of one blended figure.

Home charging isn't always the cheaper answer

Of the 20,400 combinations tracked here, 20,101 come out cheaper to charge at home than to fuel with gas, and the rest don't — a high-price state paired with a low-efficiency model can genuinely cost more per mile to charge. Nothing here is clamped to make EVs win.

Start with your state and your model

Pick your state to see every EV model's cost there, or pick a model to see how it fares across every state — either way you get the per-mile, per-year, and per-full-charge dollar figures, not an average.
