EV Home Charging Cost Calculator: Calculate Your Monthly Electric Vehicle Charging Bill
Calculate your monthly and annual home charging cost for any electric vehicle. Compare Level 1 vs Level 2 charging, find your cost per mile, and see savings versus gasoline.
How EV Home Charging Costs Are Calculated
Home charging cost depends on your EV's efficiency (miles per kWh), how many miles you drive, and your local electricity rate.
Average EV efficiency: 3–4 miles/kWh. Tesla Model 3: 4.1 miles/kWh. Chevy Bolt: 3.9 miles/kWh. Ford F-150 Lightning: 2.2 miles/kWh. US avg electricity rate 2026: $0.16/kWh.
How to Use the EV Charging Cost Calculator
Select your EV or enter efficiency
Choose from common EVs or enter your vehicle's miles-per-kWh rating from EPA estimates.
Enter monthly miles driven
Your average monthly driving distance.
Enter your electricity rate
From your electricity bill in $/kWh. Some utilities offer EV off-peak rates.
Compare to your gas car's MPG

Real-World Scenario Example
"Tesla Model 3 (4.1 mi/kWh) driving 1,000 miles/month at $0.16/kWh: 244 kWh needed × $0.16 = $39/month vs. $120/month for a 30 MPG car at $4/gallon gas."
Inputs
Result
$39/month to charge | $81/month savings vs. gas | $972/year savings
