What Is The Cost To Charge A Tesla Model Y

According to Teslanomics on average, the cost to charge a Tesla per month in the U.S is around $49. It also depends on how much you drive and where you live.


Chris Smith, a Tesla Model 3 owner from Minneapolis, says it's 3 cents a mile for him and his Model 3. He says it’s 10.5 cents per kWh where he lives, and that’s about average. U.S average is 10.42 cents per kWh. Tesla electric bill per month can vary a lot from state to state, just like gas prices: Hawaii is much more expensive, Nevada is a fair bit less.


Smith explains that EPA puts the Model Y at 28 kWh per 100 miles. If you are doing 80 mph on the interstate all the time, that cost goes up. But if you are in town and 55 mile per hour roads, it will go down some. If you have a lead foot your electric bill will move up, and if not, it can go down. If it’s cold out it can go up and if not, it can go down.


"If you have free chargers nearby where you drive your Tesla that can go down too (and your electric bill would go down if you mostly supercharge, but the actual cost to "fuel" your Model Y would be higher). If you have off peak charging deals, that can cut your Tesla’s electricity cost by up to 1/3 in some places which is really nice (Most people can charge at night when they sleep, which is when A/C’s and other electrical usage is lower)," Smith writes.

My Take: Way, way cheaper than what a ICE car costs to fill up.
