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 accounted for 30% of the household’s total energy consumption. In the following months, home charging ranged from 86% to 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 represented 24% of the household’s electricity bill. He pointed out that 90% of the charging was done at home, which aligns with reports from other Tesla owners.
On social media, opinions were mixed. Some praised the savings compared to the cost of gasoline, while others pointed out that higher electricity rates in some regions could influence costs. Users also suggested checking reduced-rate programs during off-peak hours to save even more.
Thus, charging a Tesla at home can be an affordable option for many, depending on location and lifestyle.
