EV Charge 
Charging a Tesla Model 3 at home in Georgia costs about $47 per 1,000 miles, or $0.047 per mile, at the state’s average residential rate of 15.90¢ per kWh (August 2026). A full charge from empty runs about $14.54.
Georgia ranks #31 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 $131 on fuel for those 1,000 miles at Georgia’s $3.93 a gallon, so home charging saves roughly $84 every 1,000 miles.
