EV Charge A Tesla Model Y owner in Maryland pays about $59 in electricity per 1,000 miles when charging at home, based on 21.40¢ per kWh, the EIA’s latest state average (August 2026). That’s $0.059 per mile and about $19.24 for a full charge.
Maryland ranks #15 of 51 for electricity prices (1 = most expensive), so this is above 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 Maryland’s $4.33 a gallon, so home charging saves roughly $86 every 1,000 miles.
