2026 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD: home charging cost in Alaska

In Alaska, home electricity runs 26.86¢/kWh — put a 2026 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD's EPA-rated 27.5 kWh/100mi against that and 100 miles costs $7.39, versus $16.02 for a gas car averaging 25.5 mpg. Charging at home is much cheaper than gas here: 53.9% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

Annual cost, at 15 thousands miles a year

Driving 15,000 miles a year — fueleconomy.gov's own default assumption — a 2026 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD charged at home in Alaska costs about $1,108/year in electricity, against about $2,403/year for the gas-car comparison. That's a savings of about $1,295 a year.

What one full charge costs

A 2026 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD needs roughly 89.9 kWh to reach its EPA-rated 327-mile range, which runs about $24.15 at 26.86¢/kWh in Alaska.

Where this ranks

This combination ranks 13,944 of 20,400 state/model pairs for cost savings against gas (1 is cheapest). The Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD alone ranks 23 of 400 models for efficiency; Alaska alone ranks 44 of 51 states for electricity price.

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.
