Calculate EV charging costs in Indiana at home and on the go. Compare charging vs gas costs using local electricity rates ($0.144/kWh) and gas prices.
What Indiana Residents Should Know
Home charging is where EV owners in Indiana see the biggest savings. At the state average of $0.144 per kWh, a Level 2 home charger costs roughly $0.04 per mile. Compare that to $0.10 per mile for a 30-mpg gas car fueled at $3.10 per gallon, and you are looking at roughly $60 in monthly savings if you drive about 1,000 miles.
Even without time-of-use pricing, home charging in Indiana remains significantly cheaper than gasoline. A full overnight charge on a Level 2 charger adds only $9–$11 to your electricity bill for 200–250 miles of range. Public DC fast charging is convenient on the road but typically costs 2–3 times more per kWh, so home charging should be your default whenever possible.
Indiana households currently pay an average of $143 per month for electricity. Adding an EV to the household typically raises the bill by $43–$58 per month (for 1,000–1,300 miles of driving), which is still far less than the $102–$133 per month you would spend on gasoline for the same distance. Use the calculator above to enter your exact driving habits and see how much you could save.
