Home EV Charging in Hartford: What to Know

In Hartford, electricity runs about $0.269/kWh and gas about $3.35/gallon. For a typical driver covering 12,000 miles a year, that means charging an EV at home costs roughly $922 a year versus $1,436 in gasoline — a saving of about $513 annually.

A Level 2 charger installs for around $1,900 (about $1,400 after the local utility rebate of up to $500), paying for itself in roughly 2.7 years of fuel savings — around $8,149 over 15 years. Home charging also beats public charging by about $449/year. Note: the federal 30C charger tax credit expired June 30, 2026, so Connecticut utility programs are now the main incentive.
