Texas Electricity Rates
Texas residential power runs about 15.88¢/kWh (EIA, July 2026) — roughly 13% below the 18.31¢ national average. The ERCOT deregulated retail market lets most Texans shop among providers such as TXU Energy, Reliant and Gexa Energy, and EV-specific plans like TXU's Free EV Nights — free energy charges from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. — can push overnight charging close to zero. Texas has no statewide home-charger rebate as of Oct 2026; check your retail provider for EV plans.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 on Home Charging
The Ioniq 5's 3.75 mi/kWh is middling for efficiency, but its 77.4 kWh battery and 800V architecture are built for fast road-trip charging — at home, what matters is that overnight Level 2 charging (~43 miles of range per hour on 48A) easily covers daily driving. A full 0–100% home charge costs about $13.66 at 15.88¢/kWh. Cheap Texas power plus 3.75 mi/kWh efficiency makes this one of the cheapest combinations in the country to run.
