EV Charge 
A Tesla Model 3 owner in Florida pays about $44 in electricity per 1,000 miles when charging at home, based on 14.99¢ per kWh, the EIA’s latest state average (August 2026). That’s $0.044 per mile and about $13.70 for a full charge.
Florida ranks #37 of 51 for electricity prices (1 = most expensive), so this is below the U.S. average of $54 per 1,000 miles for the same car. A 30-mpg gas car would spend about $133 on fuel for those 1,000 miles at Florida’s $3.98 a gallon, so home charging saves roughly $88 every 1,000 miles.
