EV Charge 
At Massachusetts’s average home electricity price of 30.48¢ per kWh, a Tesla Model Y costs roughly $84 to drive 1,000 miles on home charging ($0.084 a mile). Filling the battery from zero costs around $27.41.
Massachusetts ranks #3 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.
