EV vs gas car — annual fuel cost
The Genesis GV60 (Advanced) at home rates compared against a typical 28-mpg gas car and a 40-mpg hybrid at the Alaska fuel price ($3.65/gal).
| Annual mileage | Genesis GV60 (Advanced) (home) | 28-mpg gas | 40-mpg hybrid | EV savings vs gas |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6,000 mi | $502 | $782 | $548 | $280 |
| 10,000 mi | $837 | $1304 | $913 | $466 |

Home vs public DC fast charging
Home charging is the default cost optimization. Public DC fast charging in Alaska runs about 2.1× the home rate. For 12,000 miles/yr entirely on DC fast, annual fuel cost would be $2112 vs $1005 at home — a $1107 penalty. Apartment dwellers and road-trippers should price this in; daily commuters with home Level 2 can usually ignore public chargers.
DC fast rate is a network average (Electrify America + EVgo + Tesla Supercharger + ChargePoint). Real prices vary by location, time of day, and membership tier.
EV incentives in Alaska
Alaska does not currently run a state-level EV purchase rebate. Federal Section 30D credit of $7,500 still applies for qualifying vehicles (US-assembled with sourced battery components, MSRP cap, household income cap). Check the EV tax credit eligibility list for your vehicle. Some utilities offer charger installation rebates — check with your local utility.
