In December 2022, his first full month of home charging, 69% of the energy used by the car was charged at home, totaling 740 kWh at a cost of $75.50, which represented 30% of the household’s total energy consumption. In the following months, home charging ranged between 86% and 100%, with costs between $55 and $58, representing 16% to 18% of the total monthly bill.

On average, Sibila used 559 kWh per month for the Tesla, costing about $66.23, which accounted for 24% of the household’s electricity bill. He pointed out that 90% of the charging was done at home, aligning with reports from other Tesla owners.

Thus, charging a Tesla at home can be an affordable option for many, depending on location and lifestyle.
