EV Charge Tesla Superchargers cost $0.624/kWh for non-members across the U.S., more than three times the price of charging at home. Prices range from $0.41/kWh in Nebraska to $0.84/kWh in Hawaii, and in 46 of 51 states, a standard Supercharger charge costs more per mile than filling a 30-mpg gas car.

|---|---|---|
| Standard (non-member) | $0.624 | $172 |
| Member ($12.99/month) | $0.434 | $119 |

| Gas car, 30 mpg ($4.33/gal) | — | $144 |
Why the numbers look like this
Supercharger rates vary by state based on regional electricity costs, grid demand, and local operating expenses. States with lower wholesale power costs or access to cheaper fuel sources tend to have lower Supercharger rates, while states with higher grid costs or greater demand see higher per-kWh prices. The membership discount of $0.434/kWh becomes cost-effective after 68 kWh a month, roughly one moderate road trip. For daily driving, home charging remains far cheaper than Supercharging, but Superchargers serve a different purpose: enabling long-distance travel where home charging isn’t an option.
What you can do
- Calculate your breakeven point: if you Supercharge more than 68 kWh monthly, the $12.99 membership pays for itself.
- Check your state’s rate in the table before taking frequent road trips; some states are nearly double others.
- For regular long-distance drives, compare the Supercharger cost per 1,000 miles against your alternatives.
- Plan longer trips during off-peak hours when rates may be lower, or use Tesla’s trip planner to find cheaper stations along your route.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to drive 1,000 miles in a Tesla Model Y using Superchargers?
As a non-member, $172. As a member, $119. At home on average U.S. electricity, $50.
Is Supercharging cheaper than gas?
No. In 46 of 51 states, Supercharging a Model Y for 1,000 miles costs more than driving a 30-mpg gas car the same distance at $4.33 per gallon. Only in the cheapest states does Supercharging approach parity.
Is Tesla Supercharger membership worth it?
Only if you Supercharge regularly. At 68 kWh per month, the $12.99 monthly fee breaks even. If you charge at home most of the time and only use Superchargers for road trips, membership may not pay off.
Why do Supercharger prices differ so much between states?
Regional electricity costs, grid infrastructure, and local demand drive the variation. States with access to cheaper power sources and lower grid costs typically charge less per kWh.
How much can I save per year charging at home instead of Supercharging?
A Model Y driven 12,000 miles annually costs $599 to charge at home on average U.S. rates, compared to higher Supercharger costs, saving roughly $1,133 per year versus a 30-mpg gas car.
Your bill depends on your own rate and miles. Put them in the EV charging cost calculator, or see every state in the cost by state table and the monthly price index.
