EV Charge 
At Arizona’s average home electricity price of 15.05¢ per kWh, a Tesla Model Y costs roughly $41 to drive 1,000 miles on home charging ($0.041 a mile). Filling the battery from zero costs around $13.53.
Arizona ranks #36 of 51 for electricity prices (1 = most expensive), so this is below the U.S. average of $50 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 Arizona’s $4.33 a gallon, so home charging saves roughly $103 every 1,000 miles.
