Cost to Charge Subaru Solterra on Electrify America

The Solterra's CCS port plugs directly into Electrify America's CCS stalls without an adapter. Check the Electrify America app before your first session to confirm which connector your target station uses — mixed-connector deployments are common in 2026.

On a session-by-session basis, the Solterra's 150 kW peak charging speed is well-matched to Electrify America's DC fast hardware. Expect a 10→80% charge in roughly 16 min. Real-world times run 10–20% longer due to charging taper and battery preconditioning.

Cost-wise, one $27.42 full charge on Electrify America represents $0.12 per mile of driving — about 12.1¢/mile. A gas equivalent at 30 mpg and $3.50/gal is roughly 11.7¢/mile, so this charging session is more expensive than gas at current prices. Over 15,000 miles/year, exclusive reliance on Electrify America would cost roughly $2,264.67/year in fuel — a meaningful delta compared to mostly-home charging (~$778.48/year).

For most Solterra owners, the realistic use-pattern for Electrify America is road trips and occasional top-ups — not primary fueling. If you live in an apartment or condo and rely on public charging as your main option, factor in the $7/month Electrify America membership (drops your rate to 36¢/kWh).
