On home vs Supercharger pricing
Home charging is roughly 2.5× cheaper than Supercharging in most US states. A typical Tesla owner who charges 80% at home spends $600–$800 per year on electricity to drive 12,000 miles.
— Peter Tran, EV Cost Per Mile
On EV vs gas economics
Even when Supercharging exclusively, a Model Y still beats a 28 MPG gas SUV on fuel cost by about $360 per year. Home charging widens that gap to over $1,100 annually.
— Peter Tran, EV Cost Per Mile
On regional cost variance
Supercharger pricing varies by nearly 50% across US states — from about $0.32/kWh in Texas and Oklahoma to over $0.48/kWh in Hawaii. Where you charge matters as much as what you drive.

Methodology

How we calculate

Home charging cost uses US-average residential electricity at $0.17/kWh (EIA Electric Power Monthly) with a 10% AC charging loss applied. Supercharger pricing uses a composite of Tesla's published station pricing and a regional multiplier (0.90–1.35×) derived from state-level electricity and demand-charge variance.

Vehicle efficiency and range come from EPA fueleconomy.gov. Gas comparisons use AAA national average pricing. See our full methodology page for sources and update frequency.
