EV Home Charging Cost by State

See what it costs to charge popular EVs at home in California, Texas, Florida, and New York — with 2026 EIA-verified rates, climate considerations, and utility-specific TOU plans.

Electricity rates vary 3× across the U.S., from ~15¢/kWh in Texas and Florida to ~34¢/kWh in California. Climate also matters: cold winters cut range 20–40% in New York, while hot Texas summers demand more A/C but leave efficiency mostly intact. Every state guide below includes local utility time-of-use (TOU) plans and state-specific charging infrastructure insights.

California

33.61¢/kWh (EIA, July 2026) — Highest rates in the contiguous U.S., offset by widespread TOU EV plans from PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E

Texas

15.88¢/kWh (EIA, July 2026) — Deregulated retail market with EV-specific plans like free overnight charging; hot summers test range

Florida

15.03¢/kWh (EIA, July 2026) — Low rates and mild winters maximize efficiency; hurricane season impacts grid reliability

New York

29.9¢/kWh (EIA, July 2026) — Cold winters reduce range 20–40%; NYSERDA and utility rebates offset high rates
