How much does it cost to charge a Honda Prologue?

A full charge for a 2026 Honda Prologue FWD costs about $18.30 at home, at the US average residential electricity rate of 18¢/kWh. Filling up the same car costs $12.55 in Idaho, the cheapest state, and $33.80 in California — your own rate decides it.

That full charge draws roughly 102 kWh from the wall and buys 308 miles of EPA-rated range — about $0.059 a mile.

What it costs at three real electricity rates

Your rate is the only input that really moves this number, so here is the same car at three real ones — the cheapest state, the national average, and the most expensive large mainland market.

Hawaii is higher still at 52¢ — a 4.2:1 spread from the cheapest state to the dearest. Figures checked August 2026.

What it costs per mile

A Honda Prologue costs about $0.059 a mile to charge at home at the US average electricity rate, or $5.94 per 100 miles. That is energy only — the EPA rates this car at 33 kWh per 100 miles measured at the wall socket, so charging losses are already inside the figure and should not be added again.

Per mile is the number that survives a change of car: it does not care about battery size, so it is the only fair way to line this car up against one with a much bigger or smaller pack.

What it adds to your electricity bill

Charging a Honda Prologue at home adds about $59 a month to your electricity bill at the US average rate, driving 12,000 miles a year. That is the yearly cost of $713 spread evenly across twelve months — a month with a road trip in it costs more, and a quiet one costs less.

Nothing else on the bill changes: the car draws the same kilowatt-hours whatever else is running in the house, so the increase is the charging and nothing more.

At the cheapest state rate the same driving adds $41 a month, and $110 at the most expensive — the table above has all three. If your utility offers an overnight or time-of-use rate, charging on it lands at the low end rather than the middle.

Where the numbers come from

The EPA rates this FWD at 33 kWh per 100 miles with 308 miles of combined range. Those two figures together give the energy for a full charge, which is where the 102 kWh above comes from.

We work it out that way rather than quoting a battery size on purpose. Manufacturers publish gross capacity, which includes a buffer at each end of the pack that never takes a charge, so a cost built on it overstates your bill. And the EPA measures at the wall socket rather than at the battery, so charging losses are already inside the figure — no need to add them, and adding them would count the same loss twice.

What this means for this car

The Prologue is among the costlier mainstream SUVs on this list to charge per mile — the Nissan Ariya uses a little more, and the three-row, luxury and pickup models here use more still. At 33 kWh per 100 miles it uses about a third more energy than a Model Y Long Range RWD to cover the same ground, which at an average US rate works out to a meaningful difference across a year of ordinary driving. It still returns a competitive 308 miles of range, because that consumption is paired with a large battery — so the trade is that you stop about as often as anyone else, but pay more each time you fill up. Adding all-wheel drive takes it to 34 kWh per 100 miles and 294 miles. If running cost is high on your list, this is a car where it is worth pricing the alternatives before committing.

How it compares

All at 18¢/kWh and 12,000 miles a year. The gas comparison is illustrative — it is not a claim about any particular car.
