Why this number

Charging a 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 6 costs about $15.79 for a full charge (~93 kWh) at the US average rate of 17¢/kWh — roughly $6.44 per 100 miles, or $773 a year at 12,000 miles. The Ioniq 6 uses 37.9 kWh/100 mi on the EPA combined cycle. The Ioniq 6’s real cost scales with your own rate, from about 12¢ to over 50¢ across the US.

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 (EPA data for the 2027 model year, the newest the EPA lists; dollar figures use 2026 electricity rates) uses 37.9 kWh per 100 miles on the EPA combined cycle — the wall-outlet figure, so charging losses are already counted (look up your exact trim at fueleconomy.gov ). At the US average residential rate of 17¢/kWh that puts the Ioniq 6 at about $6.44 per 100 miles — 6.44¢ a mile. That lands mid-pack: 47th of the 67 current models tracked here. Nothing about the running cost of the Ioniq 6 will surprise you in either direction, which for a sedan at 37.9 kWh/100 mi is a reasonable outcome.

What an Ioniq 6 costs to charge at every rate

The same Ioniq 6 costs $4.68 per 100 miles at Idaho’s 12.35¢ and $19.98 at Hawaii’s 52.72¢ — a 4.3× spread that is entirely the rate:

Wall-side for the Ioniq 6: EPA’s 37.9 kWh/100 mi is measured at the outlet, charger losses included; quick-fill your state above for your own figure.

That per-mile figure is the one to hold against gasoline: at 17¢/kWh the Ioniq 6’s 6.44¢ a mile compares with about 13.6¢ for a 30-mpg gas car at $4.07 a gallon (EIA weekly, Aug 31, 2026). The EV vs gas cost guide works the Ioniq 6’s math in full — both formulas, and the electricity rate at which the advantage disappears.

Range: what a “full charge” of the Ioniq 6 really means

EPA combined range is about 245 miles. Multiplying that by the car’s efficiency gives roughly 93 kWh to refill a full range from empty, which is the honest way to think about a ‘full charge’ — battery capacity figures include a buffer you never actually use. That is a modest range by 2026 standards, which matters less for cost than for how often you plan around charging on long trips.

The Ioniq 6 on a public fast charger

On a public fast charger at about 48¢/kWh the Ioniq 6 costs $18.19 per 100 miles against $6.44 at home — 2.8× — or roughly $2,183 a year instead of $773 if it never sees a home outlet. Why a session costs more than the posted price for a Ioniq 6 (10–80% charging curve, idle fees, per-minute billing) is explained once on the cost-to-charge hub ; the EV time-of-use calculator nets an overnight rate against the Ioniq 6’s $773 flat-rate figure.

The Ioniq 6 in cold weather

A hard winter lifts the Ioniq 6 from 37.9 to roughly 49.3 kWh/100 mi (the middle of the 20–40% rise real-world data shows), so $8.38 per 100 miles instead of $6.44 and an effective range nearer 188 miles than 245. The mechanics behind the Ioniq 6’s winter penalty — cabin heat, battery chemistry, preconditioning from the wall — are on the hub ; the Ioniq 6’s $773 annual figure above already averages the seasons.

Where the Ioniq 6 sits against other EVs

Its nearest neighbors on efficiency are the Volvo EX90 (37.8 kWh/100 mi) and the Polestar 3 (38.2 kWh/100 mi). The Ioniq 6 at 37.9 kWh/100 mi sits against a set that runs from the Tesla Model Y at 26.9 kWh/100 mi, and the least efficient is the GMC Hummer EV at 67.8 — a spread that changes annual charging cost by $834 a year at 17¢/kWh and 12,000 miles.

Trims: does the Ioniq 6 version you pick change the bill?

The EPA lists a single configuration for the 2027 Ioniq 6, so there is no trim-to-trim efficiency decision to make here — what you see is what you get.

Frequently asked questions

How we calculated this

Worked for the Ioniq 6: 37.9 kWh/100 mi ÷ 100 × 17¢ = $6.44 per 100 miles; 245 mi × 37.9 ÷ 100 = 93 kWh, × $0.17 = $15.79 per full charge; $6.44 × 12,000 ÷ 100 = $773 a year. The Ioniq 6’s gasoline comparison is 12,000 ÷ 30 mpg × $4.07 = $1,628. EPA combined ratings, measured at the wall.
