# EV Charging Cost Calculator

Compare exact EPA vehicle variants using your mileage, home/public charging mix and gasoline alternative.

2026 Tesla Model 3 Standard RWD (Rear-Wheel Drive)

$44.50 per month

- **Per mile**: 4.4¢
- **Per 100 miles**: $4.45
- **Annual**: $533.99
- **Energy per month**: 243 kWh
- **Gas car per month**: $145.50
- **Gas cost minus EV cost**: $101.00

EPA record 50251, retrieved 2026-09-27. Blended charging rate 18.3¢/kWh. Fees, membership charges and vehicle purchase/maintenance costs are excluded. [Exact EPA vehicle record](https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=50251)

Break-even blended electricity rate: **59.9¢/kWh**, using your gasoline price and mpg. A negative monthly difference means this EV costs more for energy.

EPA laboratory ratings vary from real-world weather, speed and towing. Home share is a share of energy, not a share of sessions. No extra charging-loss multiplier is applied to EPA driving energy.
