The cost of charging an electric vehicle at home in the United States as of 2025 varies depending on electricity rates, vehicle efficiency, and driving habits.

The national average residential electricity rate as of the beginning of 2025 is approximately 16.94 cents per kWh, but state-specific rates can differ markedly.

Electricity is more expensive in some states due to factors like higher energy demand, reliance on costly energy sources and the need for extensive infrastructure maintenance.

Lucid Air Pure's 84 kWh battery pack achieves five miles per kWh, and offers a more cost-effective charging experience compared to the Ford F-150 Lightning's 131 kWh battery.

To estimate your monthly EV home charging costs, consider your state’s electricity rate, your EV efficiency, and your driving habits.
