Frequently asked questions.

How much does it cost to charge a Rivian R1T at home?

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.

How much does DC fast charging cost for the Rivian R1T?

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.

What is the cost per mile for the Rivian R1T?

At $0.14/kWh, the Rivian R1T costs about $0.05 per mile. For a typical 12,000-mile year, that's approximately $540 annually — substantially less than gas. A comparable gas car at $3.50/gallon and 25 mpg costs $0.14/mile, making the Rivian R1T roughly $280x cheaper per mile.

What electricity rate plan is best for the Rivian R1T?

Many utilities offer Time-of-Use (TOU) plans with substantially lower rates overnight (often $0.06-0.10/kWh). Since the Rivian R1T 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.

How does the Rivian R1T charging cost compare to gas?

Over 12,000 miles: the Rivian R1T costs ~$540 in home electricity vs. ~$1680 in gasoline for a comparable vehicle. That's roughly $1140 in annual savings. Over 5 years, that adds up to thousands in fuel savings alone.
