Where it sits among 2026 models
Each tick is the annual fuel cost of one of the 273 vehicles of model year 2026 on this site. The 2026 BMW i7 is the 41st cheapest to charge. Over five years EPA estimates it saves $7,500 in fuel compared with the average new vehicle.
What this figure is
It is EPA's own annual cost estimate, the kind printed on a new car's window sticker. It assumes 15,000 miles a year, 55% of them in the city and 45% on the highway, at the national electricity prices EPA uses, which it revises from time to time.
To estimate your own cost, scale it by your mileage: someone who drives 10,000 miles a year would pay about two thirds of the figure. Electricity prices where you charge move it too. The efficiency ratings come from EPA's standard laboratory tests.
