How we get these numbers
We use the same formula as our cost article: monthly miles divided by efficiency, times the electricity rate.
(1,000 mi ÷ 3.5 mi/kWh) × 13.59¢/kWh = $39/month
- Rate in Wyoming: 13.59¢/kWh (residential average)
- Efficiency: 3.5 mi/kWh, a typical passenger EV
- Driving: 1,000 miles/month, near the US average
Figures assume no charging loss, to match the article and keep the math clear. Real-world AC charging adds roughly 10%. For the same miles, a 30 mpg gas car at $4.50/gallon (Q2 2026) would run about $150/month, so charging at home saves roughly $111/month here. Run your own numbers in the calculator.
How Wyoming compares
Wyoming's 13.59¢/kWh is 28% below the national average of 18.83¢/kWh (March 2026). Over the past 12 months it has averaged 13.93¢/kWh, so a single month is not an outlier.
Rates are a residential blended average. Your own bill depends on your utility and rate plan; many utilities offer cheaper overnight time-of-use rates that cut EV charging costs further. See every state's rate.

Rate shown is the residential average retail price EIA reports for Wyoming (March 2026). Cost figures use 3.5 mi/kWh efficiency and 1,000 miles/month; see the worked example above for the full method. We never estimate a rate: states EIA does not report do not get a page. How we source our data.
