Audi Q6 e-tron (base RWD, electric) cost to own in Mississippi — the true 5-year total
The Audi Q6 e-tron (base RWD, electric) starts at $65,095. As of July 1, 2026, over 5 years, owning one (EV) costs about $75,482 in Mississippi — $1,258/month, $1.26/mile — including depreciation, charging (with the ~12% AC charging loss most calculators ignore), maintenance, insurance, financing and fees. That's $57,507 less than a comparable Land Rover Range Rover P400 SE over the same 5 years. Mississippi's electricity (16.8¢/kWh) is 11% below the U.S. average, and gas runs $3.46/gal here — both fed straight into the numbers above. The federal $7,500 EV credit expired Sept 30, 2025 and is not applied.

What else moves your Audi Q6 e-tron (base RWD, electric) cost
The 5-year total already folds in depreciation, charging, insurance, maintenance and financing. Here's how the biggest levers work — and the ones that sit outside the total.
- Financing. Borrow the full $65,095 at a typical 7.2% new-car APR over 60 months and interest alone adds about $12,612. Lower the APR or add a down payment in the calculator and the total drops — financing is in the 5-year figure above.
- Insurance. This model averages about $3,000/yr to insure — roughly $800/yr more than a comparable gas car ($2,200/yr), as EV parts and repairs tend to cost more — our own estimate, calibrated to Insurify/Bankrate 2026, and already in the total above.
- Home charger. A Level 2 home charger is a one-time $500–$2,000 installed (depends on your panel and wiring) — not in the total above, but it pays back fast versus public fast-charging.
- Tires. EVs are heavier and make instant torque, so tires can wear ~20% faster — a real running cost most comparisons skip. We fold a higher maintenance rate for EVs into the total.
- Where you charge. Public DC fast-charging can cost 2–3× your home rate. The total assumes 80% home charging; if you can't charge at home, lower that share in the calculator to see the real cost.
Cost to charge the Audi Q6 e-tron (base RWD, electric) at home
A full charge of the Audi Q6 e-tron (base RWD, electric) costs about $19, and it runs about $6.09 per 100 mi at home — versus about $11.53 for a typical 30 mpg gas car. Home charging only (the ~12% AC charging loss is included); public DC fast-charging is billed per session by each network — often 2–3× the home rate — and isn't in these figures.
- Full charge (100 kWh usable)
- $19pack ÷ (1 − 12% loss) × $0.17/kWh
- Per 100 mi at home
- $6.0932 kWh/100mi + 12% charging loss × $0.17/kWh
- A typical 30 mpg gas car
- $11.53/100miat $3.46/gal — for comparison
