EV Charge 
A Tesla Model Y owner in New York pays about $79 in electricity per 1,000 miles when charging at home, based on 28.65¢ per kWh, the EIA’s latest state average (August 2026). That’s $0.079 per mile and about $25.76 for a full charge.
New York ranks #6 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 $145 on fuel for those 1,000 miles at New York’s $4.35 a gallon, so home charging saves roughly $66 every 1,000 miles.
