How Much Does It Cost to Charge a Tesla?
Computed from EIA residential electricity rates (July 2026 data) and the EPA ratings of Tesla's trims (fueleconomy.gov). At the US average of 18.3¢/kWh, a Model Y costs about $5.13 per 100 miles at home — a 24 mpg gas SUV burns $18.04 for the same distance. Pick your car or enter its VIN for its own figure.

Efficiency is the middle EPA rating of each model's newest trims (fueleconomy.gov data file of Sep 29, 2026), in kWh per 100 miles measured at the wall, so charging losses are included; the trim table below has every year. Home rate: the US average of 18.3¢/kWh. Full charge is the energy from the wall to fill an empty battery: EPA range × kWh per 100 mi, charging losses included, for the newest model year's trims. Owners often report a Cybertruck using more than its EPA label. Our cost calculator still uses its own per-model figures.

What EPA doesn't list: the 2024 Cybertruck (the calculator uses its 2025 labels); the Cyberbeast (the calculator uses the Cybertruck AWD label, so it is likely a little low); the 2023 Model S Plaid (an adjacent year's label); most extra wheel sizes Tesla sells (the base wheels' label, or with a VIN an estimate from Tesla's own range figures for your wheels). Where EPA lists the same trim and wheels twice, the row is the average of the two.

Supercharging
Supercharger cost vs home charging
Superchargers average around 42¢/kWh in the US — most sites fall between 30¢ and 49¢, with peak/off-peak pricing at many locations. That's about 2.3x the average home rate: the same Model Y that costs $5.13 per 100 miles at home runs about $11.76 on Superchargers (often a little less, since a Supercharger bills the energy that reaches the car). Most owners land in between — home charging for daily miles, Supercharging on trips (an 80/20 split is typical, about $6.45 per 100 miles, and it's what our cost calculator assumes). Two 2026 details competitor pages get wrong: Tesla publishes no national rate — every site prices dynamically, many with peak/off-peak spreads of 30–50% — and the old idle fee is now a single congestion fee (typically $0.50/min) that applies only when a site is busy and your battery is at 80%+ or your session has ended, after a 5-minute grace period.
Home setup: Tesla's Wall Connector is $475 (about $600 for the Universal version) plus Tesla's own $750–$1,500 installation estimate; the $300 Mobile Connector now includes both 120 V and 240 V (NEMA 14-50) adapters — and on a 14-50 outlet it charges a Model 3/Y RWD just as fast as a Wall Connector.
Charging losses: already in our numbers
About 10–15% of the electricity you pay for never reaches the battery (conversion and heat losses — worst on a 120 V outlet). Guides that bolt a loss factor onto EPA figures double-count it: EPA efficiency is measured at the wall, losses included, and every number on this page uses those wall-measured ratings. Full-charge figures on this page include them too. What you see is what you pay.
Off-peak rates cut these numbers 30–50%
The state table uses average residential rates, but most utilities offer time-of-use EV plans with overnight rates far below average — sometimes under 10¢/kWh. Schedule charging in the Tesla app (Charge Settings → Scheduled Charging) and your real cost can land well below the table; in some Texas markets Tesla Electric's fixed-rate plans make overnight home charging effectively flat-fee. Use the time-of-use option in the calculator above.
Method
How we work out your charging cost
Energy use. Each Tesla's EPA rating from fueleconomy.gov (data file of Sep 29, 2026): the kilowatt-hours it takes from the wall to drive 100 miles, for its model year, trim and wheels. EPA measures at the wall, so the energy lost while charging is already in, and we add no loss factor on top. Until you pick a car we use the middle EPA rating of the model's newest trims: for a Model Y, 28.0 kWh per 100 miles, from its 2024–2026 trims.
Your car. Pick your trim, or enter your VIN and we read the trim and wheels from it (US-built cars only). Where EPA has no label for your car's year, trim or wheels, a chip next to the figure says what we used instead: the nearest model year's label, the Cybertruck AWD label for a Cyberbeast (likely a little low), or, for wheels EPA doesn't list, the label scaled by Tesla's own range figures for your wheels and the base wheels. Where Tesla rates your car above its EPA label on the same wheels (a later re-rating), we use the neighbouring year's label for Tesla's figure, or scale the label so a full charge still takes the label's energy.
Cost. Energy use × your rate. At home: your state's average residential price from the EIA (July 2026 data), your own rate, or a time-of-use mix. At Superchargers: about 42¢/kWh — our estimate from DCFC Tracker's Sept 2026 average of Tesla's posted prices (43.4¢, which records peak prices) — or the price your Tesla app shows. The two are blended by how much you charge at home (80% to start).
Full charges and trips. A full charge is EPA range × kWh per 100 miles: the energy from the wall to fill an empty battery when new. Give your range at 100% today and we use that instead: a worn battery costs less to fill, but the same per mile. Many Model 3 and Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive and Standard cars have an LFP battery, whose reading runs low unless it is charged to 100% now and then. A Supercharger stop is 10→80%, 70% of a full charge. A road trip uses the EPA highway rating, leaves home with 80% of a full charge and buys the rest at Superchargers.
Gas. A gas car of the same kind — a 32 mpg gas sedan for a Model 3 or Model S, a 24 mpg gas SUV for a Model Y or Model X, a 20 mpg gas pickup for a Cybertruck — at your state's AAA average for regular (Oct 14, 2026). You can change both.
What is approximate, and why. Average rates aren't your bill: fixed fees, tiers and time of day move what you pay per kWh, so your own rate gives a closer answer. Supercharger prices vary by site and hour, and a Supercharger bills the energy that reaches the car, so the real cost is often a little lower than ours. EPA ratings mix city and highway driving; driving 70–75 mph and cold weather use more, and we don't put a percentage on it. Year totals, full charges, Supercharger stops and trips are rounded and said with “about”.
Free Supercharging. Tick it in the calculator if your car has it. We never assume it: whether a car still has it depends on how it was bought and sold, so check your Tesla app.
How current. We refresh the electricity and gas tables by hand, and every figure on this page names the month or day its data is from. EPA ratings come from fueleconomy.gov's data file of Sep 29, 2026.
FAQ
Tesla charging cost FAQ
How much does it cost to charge a Tesla at home?
At the US average residential rate of 18.3¢/kWh (EIA, July 2026 data), a Model Y (28.0 kWh per 100 miles, 280 Wh/mile, the middle EPA rating of 2024–2026 Model Y trims) costs about $5.13 per 100 miles at home, roughly $51/month at 1,000 miles. Your state's figure is in the table above.
How much does a full charge cost?
Your rate times the energy it takes from the wall: EPA range × EPA kWh per 100 miles, charging losses included. A 2026 Model Y takes about 78–98 kWh, about $14–$18 for 0–100% at the 18.3¢ US average; a 2026 Cybertruck about 140–145 kWh, about $26–$27. A worn battery costs less to fill but the same per mile. Most days you charge 20–80%, about 60% of that.
Is Supercharging more expensive than home charging?
Yes — Superchargers average around 42¢/kWh, roughly 2.3x the average home rate. Owners who home-charge 80% of miles (the typical split) blend to about 23.0¢/kWh, much closer to the home rate.
Is charging a Tesla cheaper than gas?
Almost everywhere. At national averages, a Model Y costs about $5.13 per 100 miles on home power, while a comparable 24 mpg gas SUV costs about $18.04 for the same 100 miles at $4.33/gallon (AAA, Oct 14, 2026) — the state table shows the gap where you live.
How much does charging a Tesla cost per year?
At 12,000 miles/year and the 18.3¢ national average, home charging a Model Y runs about $615 per year — a comparable 24 mpg gas SUV burns roughly $2,165 in fuel over the same miles.
Does Supercharging cost extra when the station is busy?
Tesla's congestion fee (typically $0.50/min) applies only when a site is busy AND your battery is at 80%+ while plugged in, or your session has ended — with a 5-minute grace period. Many sites also run peak/off-peak pricing with 30–50% spreads; the rate locks when you plug in.
Do I pay for electricity that never reaches the battery?
Yes — 10–15% is lost to conversion and heat. Our figures already include those losses because EPA efficiency is measured at the wall, so the costs on this page reflect what your meter records, not an optimistic battery-only number. Full-charge figures include them too.
