Alaska home charging cost for the 2026 Tesla Model 3 Premium RWD

A 2026 Tesla Model 3 Premium RWD draws 24.6 kWh per 100 miles per the EPA; at Alaska's 26.86¢/kWh residential rate that's $6.62 per 100 miles charged at home, versus $16.02 for a 25.5-mpg gas car covering the same distance. Charging at home is much cheaper than gas here: 58.7% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

Annual cost, at 15 thousands miles a year

At fueleconomy.gov's default of 15,000 annual miles, the 2026 Tesla Model 3 Premium RWD costs roughly $993 a year to charge at home in Alaska, against roughly $2,403 a year for an equivalent gas car. That's a savings of about $1,410 a year.

Next step: home charger installation

The numbers above assume Level 2 home charging is already in place — the electrical work behind that is a real, separate cost that varies by panel, wiring, and local labor rates, not something this page's per-mile math includes.

Where these figures come from

The methodology guide names the exact EIA and EPA tables behind this page's numbers. At 26.86¢/kWh, Alaska sits in the middle of the national range — the guide to why charging cost varies by state shows where.
