EV Charge A Tesla Model 3 owner in Vermont pays about $71 in electricity per 1,000 miles when charging at home, based on 23.84¢ per kWh, the EIA’s latest state average (August 2026). That’s $0.071 per mile and about $21.79 for a full charge.
Vermont ranks #12 of 51 for electricity prices (1 = most expensive), so this is above the U.S. average of $54 per 1,000 miles for the same car. A 30-mpg gas car would spend about $144 on fuel for those 1,000 miles at Vermont’s $4.33 a gallon, so home charging saves roughly $74 every 1,000 miles.
