How Much Does It Cost to Charge a 2026 Toyota FT-Se?

The 2026 Toyota FT-Se is a sports car with a 64 kWh battery pack providing an EPA-estimated range of 250 miles. At 16.4 cents/kWh, a full charge costs approximately $10.50. Driving 12,000 miles per year, the annual charging cost is approximately $555.

Compared to a gas vehicle averaging 27 MPG at $3.50 per gallon, the Toyota FT-Se saves $1,001 annually in fuel costs. Over 5 years, that adds up to $5,003 in savings. With a fuel efficiency equivalent of 120 MPGe, the Toyota FT-Se is approximately 4.4x more efficient than the average gas car.

Most Toyota FT-Se owners charge at home using a Level 2 (240V) charger, which takes approximately 9 hours for a full charge. For road trips, the Toyota FT-Se supports DC fast charging via its CCS port, with a modeled fast-charge session of about 24 minutes from 10% to 80%.

Methodology & EV Data Sources

How we calculate Toyota FT-Se charging costs and range data: Our EV specifications, range estimates, and charging cost calculations integrate official federal testing data with current utility rate information.

  1. Range and efficiency ratings from the US DOE/EPA Fuel Economy Guide (FuelEconomy.gov) — the official source for EPA-rated range, MPGe, and energy consumption for all EVs sold in the US.
  2. Electricity rate data from EIA Electric Power Monthly — the authoritative federal source for residential electricity prices by state and region.
  3. Federal EV credit status details from IRS Clean Vehicle Credit (Section 30D) and the DOE EV Tax Credit Eligibility Checker.
  4. Charging infrastructure data from DOE Alternative Fuels Station Locator (AFDC) — the national database of public EV charging stations.
  5. Emissions savings calculations use EPA eGRID grid emission factors to accurately measure CO₂ avoided per mile driven in the Toyota FT-Se vs. average gasoline vehicle.

Authoritative EV and energy data sources:

EV Disclaimer: Range estimates are based on EPA-rated figures under standard test conditions. Real-world range varies by driving speed, temperature, HVAC use, cargo load, and terrain. Charging costs use average utility rates — actual costs depend on your electricity plan and time-of-use rates. Federal credit status changes with acquisition date, MSRP limits, income thresholds, purchase method, and vehicle eligibility — verify with IRS.gov before purchase.
