What a Rivian R1T costs to charge

The 2027 Rivian R1T uses 44.4 kWh per 100 miles on the EPA combined cycle and is rated for 374 miles, so a full charge pulls 166.1 kWh from the wall. That EPA figure is measured at the socket, which means it already includes charging losses — the cost below is what your meter records, not an idealised battery number.

What that costs depends entirely on where you plug in. Nevada has the cheapest residential electricity in the country at 13.11¢ per kWh, making a full charge $21.77. Hawaii charges 52.72¢, and the same charge costs $87.54 — 4.0× more for exactly the same miles.

Pick your state below for the local figure, or use the calculator to enter your own tariff — most people on a time-of-use plan pay well under the state average if they charge overnight.

Worth knowing: in California, Hawaii the flat residential electricity rate is high enough that this car costs more to run than a 30 mpg petrol equivalent. An off-peak tariff usually reverses that, but the headline rate does not.

What is the cheapest state to charge a Rivian R1T?
Nevada, at 13.11¢ per kWh — $21.77 for a full charge. The most expensive is Hawaii at 52.72¢, where the same charge costs $87.54.
How much does it cost to run a Rivian R1T for a year?
Between $699 and $2,809 of electricity over 12,000 miles, depending on your state. At the national average of 19.42¢ per kWh it is around $1,754.
Is public fast charging more expensive?
Considerably. Home electricity here is priced at the residential average; public DC fast charging typically runs two to three times that per kWh, and networks change their pricing often. Enter the network's rate in the calculator to see the real cost of a road trip.
