EV Charge 
A Tesla Model Y owner in New Jersey pays about $68 in electricity per 1,000 miles when charging at home, based on 24.61¢ per kWh, the EIA’s latest state average (August 2026). That’s $0.068 per mile and about $22.13 for a full charge.
New Jersey ranks #10 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 New Jersey’s $4.33 a gallon, so home charging saves roughly $77 every 1,000 miles.
