The cost to charge a Tesla will depend on several factors, including the type of Tesla you own, the type of charging station you are using and the cost of electricity in your area.
To charge a Model S or Model X, Tesla’s home charger, referred to as a Wall Connector, requires a connection to either a 240V power source (NEMA 14-50 outlet for RWD models) or a type 2 plug for all-wheel-drive models.
Tesla recommends installing a wall connector in your home when charging a Tesla. The cost of installing a wall connector in the US is typically around $1,000 and includes the charger, wall cables and the installation. Additionally, the cost of electricity in your area will also impact how much it costs to charge your Tesla.
Overall, the cost to charge your Tesla can range anywhere from $0.12 to $0.35 per kWh depending on your electricity rates.
