How Much It Costs To Charge A Tesla
A lot of questions come to mind with Tesla EVs — the most pressing of which is 'How much does it cost to charge a Tesla?' Every Tesla car is fully electric, which results in a lower cost per mile than filling up a gasoline or diesel-powered vehicle. Electricity prices do vary, however, both by location and type of charger. Rates also vary across Tesla’s Supercharger network, but the average price is quite affordable.
The fastest way to charge a Tesla to full capacity is at a Supercharger, but the lowest prices are usually found with home charging. Home chargers are quite useful for topping up the car overnight, of if there's not a nearby Supercharger where you live.

Let's dive in.
Let's start with the Tesla Model S and the cost of at-home charging. The latest versions of the Model S and Model S Plaid both feature 100 kWh battery capacities. Multiplying that by the average home energy cost of 13.72 cents per kWh, that works out to about $13.72 to fully charge a Model S from 0 — 100 percent. That number will obviously flucuate depending on the actual price of energy where you live, but that's a rough idea of what you can
