- Electricity: 28.83 cents per kWh, Alaska residential average, 2026-07 (U.S. Energy Information Administration, Electric Power Monthly).
- Gasoline: $4.63 a gallon for 2025, all grades. The state price is derived from EIA's state price file and its national annual price.
- Efficiency: the average of 818 EPA-rated electric trims (37.5 kWh per 100 miles) and 1,447 EPA-rated gas trims (22.2 mpg), the three newest EPA model years. A simple average over trims, not weighted by sales.
