How much more expensive is your electricity bill when you buy an electric car that is charged at home?

In the USA, you typically spend about one dollar for electricity to charge up an electric car at home that you would otherwise be spending to buy three dollars worth of gasoline, or maybe a little more, for a similarly sized car, driven the same distance. And don't forget that you won't be spending anything on oil changes, or new brake pads if you get an electric car.

How much does it cost to install a Tesla wall charger?


The charger is about $600. The cost to install will vary from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on the complexity of the job.

That said, a charger is optional. I don't have one, and I don't need one despite having 2 Tesla cars in my household.

The cars come with a long cable that can plug into a household socket.

There are inexpensive adapters for that cable that allow you to utilize a wide range of common outlets.

The slowest charge is from a 120-volt 15-amp outlet, which will only add about 3 miles of range for each hour of charging.

At the other end of the spectrum is a 240-volt 50 amp outlet that adds 25 to 30 miles of range per hour of charging.
