How much does a Tesla cost to charge?

I’m considering buying a Tesla for my next car soon. I know they’re more expensive to buy, but I’ve heard they save you more in the long run since you don’t have to pay for gas. How much does a Tesla cost to charge?

rates too. But you’ll be able to save on one thing: gas prices.
Teslas are electric cars, so you won’t have to pay to fill up a gas tank. Instead, you’ll have to charge the battery. Teslas cost between $8.71 and $16.57 to fully charge, depending on the model you have. You can lower this cost even more if you add solar power. Here are the average charging prices for different Tesla model categories:
  • Model 3: $8.71-$13.18
  • Model S: $16.28-$16.56
  • Model X: $16.49-$16.57
  • Model Y: $12.29-$12.90
