Rivian R1S Charging Cost.

At the US average of $0.14/kWh, a full 0-100% charge costs approximately $18.90. Most drivers charge 20-80% regularly (~$81 kWh), which costs about $11.34. Off-peak rates (often $0.08-0.10/kWh) can cut this nearly in half. Use the calculator with your local rate for accurate numbers.

DC fast charging costs $0.35-0.50/kWh at most public stations. A 20-80% charge (~$81 kWh) would cost $32.40-$40.50. Tesla Superchargers for non-Tesla vehicles may charge slightly more. Home charging is 3-5x cheaper.

At $0.14/kWh, the Rivian R1S costs about $0.05 per mile. For a typical 12,000-mile year, that's approximately $553 annually — substantially less than gas. A comparable gas car at $3.50/gallon and 25 mpg costs $0.14/mile, making the Rivian R1S roughly $280x cheaper per mile.

Many utilities offer Time-of-Use (TOU) plans with substantially lower rates overnight (often $0.06-0.10/kWh). Since the Rivian R1S can be scheduled to charge during off-peak hours, a TOU plan can reduce your per-mile cost to as low as $0.03. Check with your local utility for EV-specific rate plans.

Over 12,000 miles: the Rivian R1S costs ~$553 in home electricity vs. ~$1680 in gasoline for a comparable vehicle. That's roughly $1127 in annual savings. Over 5 years, that adds up to thousands in fuel savings alone.
