How much does it cost to charge an electric car in Wyoming?
Wyoming has some of the cheaper home electricity in the country — 20% below the national average — which is the single biggest reason EVs are cheap to run here. Gas is relatively cheap at about $3.09 a gallon (12% below the $3.50 reference), so a thrifty gas car stays more competitive.
At Wyoming's average rate, adding 100 miles to a Model 3 costs about $3.20 at home, and a full 60 kWh charge costs about $7.68. Over a year of 13,500 miles with 85% home charging, the EV charging cost in Wyoming comes to about $595 — roughly $50 a month. The U.S. average for the same car is $687.
EV charging cost in Wyoming: home vs station
Home charging at $0.128 per kWh works out to 3.2¢ a mile in a Model 3. Public DC fast charging, often around $0.45 per kWh, is 11.3¢ a mile. If you could only fast charge, the yearly bill would be about $1,519, which is $215 more than gas. Ask your utility about EV or time-of-use plans; overnight rates are frequently well below the average shown here.
