At-Home Charging Cheaper Than Filling with Gas? Why Switching to an EV Makes Sense

At King Volkswagen, we know that making the switch to an electric vehicle isn’t just about saving the planet—it’s about saving money and enjoying a superior driving experience. And one of the most overlooked benefits of driving an EV? The cost savings from charging at home compared to constantly filling up a gas tank.

If you’ve ever winced at the gas pump after a fill-up, you’ll appreciate just how much you can save by switching to electric. Let’s break down why charging your Volkswagen ID.4 at home could be the smartest move you make this year.

Why Charging at Home Just Makes Sense

One of the most attractive aspects of owning an electric vehicle is the ability to charge at home. No more late-night gas station runs or keeping an eye on fluctuating fuel prices. With a professionally installed Level 2 (240V) charger, like the HomeStation Level 2 Home Charger from Electrify Home, your Volkswagen ID.4 can charge up in just 7.5 to 11.5 hours—perfect for overnight recharges that leave you with a full battery and a clear conscience every morning.

The real kicker? Charging at home is far cheaper than filling up a traditional gas tank. Over the course of five years, the Volkswagen ID.4 can save you an estimated $4,500 in fuel costs compared to the average gasoline vehicle. That’s extra cash in your pocket for weekend getaways, home upgrades, or even putting towards your next vehicle.

Say Goodbye to Rising Gas Prices

Gas prices can fluctuate wildly based on everything from geopolitical events to seasonal demand. But with an electric vehicle, your charging costs are far more predictable. Simply plug your Volkswagen ID.4 into your home charger and enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing exactly what you’re paying for.

A Seamless Driving Experience

Sure, the savings are great. But driving electric is about more than just cutting costs. The Volkswagen ID.4 offers a driving experience that feels smooth, modern, and genuinely fun.

The ID.4’s electric motor delivers instant torque, which means you don’t have to wait for the engine to spool up to get moving. Just press the pedal and go. That responsiveness isn’t just enjoyable—it makes merging onto highways or navigating busy city traffic feel effortless.

Plus, the ID.4 Pro boasts an impressive EPA-estimated driving range of 275 miles, so you can easily handle your daily commute, errands around Gaithersburg, and even weekend trips to nearby spots like Seneca Creek State Park or Rockville Town Square without constantly worrying about charging.

The Public Charging Network Is Growing

While home charging is incredibly convenient, it’s not your only option. The network of DC fast chargers is expanding rapidly across the country, making longer trips simpler than ever. Companies like Electrify America have established a wide-ranging network of charging stations along major highways, providing you with fast, reliable options when you’re away from home.

With the ID.4 Pro, you can add about 89 miles of range in just 10 minutes at a public DC fast charger. That’s a quick break to stretch your legs and grab a coffee before you’re back on the road.

Electric Vehicles Are More Fun Than You Think

Driving an EV isn’t just about saving money—it’s about enjoying the ride. The ID.4’s center of gravity makes for agile handling, while the quiet cabin offers a more relaxed driving experience. And thanks to the instant torque, every acceleration feels smooth, powerful, and satisfying.

The Future of Driving Is Electric

From its aerodynamic road presence to its spacious, modern interior, the Volkswagen ID.4 is a clear indication that electric vehicles aren’t just the future—they’re the present. And with home charging being more affordable than ever, there’s never been a better time to make the switch.
