Here’s how installing a home charger and fuelling your Tesla from there impacts your electricity bills<\/h2>\n

The cost of home charging your Tesla has been broken down by a YouTuber and the results might surprise you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s varying debates online about just how cost efficient\u00a0Teslas<\/a>\u00a0are – while the vehicles come with a hefty upfront cost their electric-powered capabilities are thought to save a lot in\u00a0the long run<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And\u00a0YouTuber\u00a0<\/a>Alex Sibila has since revealed just how much it’s cost to charge his Tesla after installing a home charging point in his old house.<\/p>\n

First off, Sibila takes a look at his utility bill at ‘face value’ explaining it has a flat fee of $22 which you have to pay per month no matter what – even if you use\u00a0solar powering<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On top of that comes the distribution and generation and transmission charge, with Sibila’s utility bill coming to a total of\u00a0$281.00<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“These costs do vary month-to-month,” Sibila explains, however, looking at this month’s specifically, he notes he used a total of 2,108 kWh.<\/p>\n

Sibila then hones in on the ‘first full month of charging the\u00a0car\u00a0<\/a>at home’ in December 2022, revealing 69 percent of the total charging of the vehicle was done at home which saw 740 kWh charged.<\/p>\n

Well, the YouTuber reveals it set him back $75.50 which he adds ‘accounted for about 30 percent of our home’s electricity usage for December’.<\/p>\n

In January 2023, Sibila explains 100 per cent of the vehicle’s charging was done at home that month.<\/p>\n

And this saw 499 kWh used totaling $58.11, accounting for ’16 percent’ of the house’s total electricity bill for that month.<\/p>\n

The next month saw 86 percent of charging of the car done at home, totaling 481 kWh and $55.79 – 18 per cent of the total bill.<\/p>\n

The YouTuber goes on to break the figures down all the way until August before coming in with some averages.<\/p>\n

Around ’90 per cent of charging was done at home’ which Sibila says was ‘consistent’ with what he had been told by other Tesla owners.<\/p>\n

“We don’t travel a ton, but we do take trips every once in a while,” he noted.<\/p>\n

An average month saw 559 kWh used which cost an average of $66.23 which accounted for an average of 24 per cent of the home’s overall electricity bill.<\/p>\n

Obviously, this depends on whereabouts you live and the cost of electricity near you too.<\/p>\n

And it’s not taken long for\u00a0social media<\/a> users to weigh in.<\/p>\n
