What drives the cost
Your charging cost depends on three things: how efficiently your Model X uses electricity, your state’s electricity rate, and where you charge. The Model X ranks 7th in efficiency among 16 EVs in the mixed sedans, SUVs, and trucks category, so it’s reasonably efficient but not the most efficient option. If you charge at home using standard rates, costs are predictable. Using a DC fast charger pushes your monthly cost to $151.
Home vs fast charging vs gas
| How you fuel | Cost per 1,000 miles |
|---|---|
| Home, U.S. average | $58 |
| Home, Nevada | $41 |
| Home, Hawaii | $152 |
| DC fast charging, typical (47¢/kWh) | $151 |
| DC fast charging, Electrify America avg. (61.5¢/kWh) | $198 |
| Gas car, 30 mpg ($4.33/gal) | $144 |
