Hawaii home charging cost for the 2026 Tesla Model S

In Hawaii, home electricity runs 45.95¢/kWh — put a 2026 Tesla Model S's EPA-rated 27.1 kWh/100mi against that and 100 miles costs $12.47, versus $16.02 for a gas car averaging 25.5 mpg. Charging at home is cheaper than gas here: 22.2% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

What a year of driving costs

At fueleconomy.gov's default of 15,000 annual miles, the 2026 Tesla Model S costs roughly $1,870 a year to charge at home in Hawaii, against roughly $2,403 a year for an equivalent gas car. That's a savings of about $533 a year.

Filling up the 2026 Tesla Model S, in dollars

Covering the 2026 Tesla Model S's EPA-rated 410-mile range takes about 111.2 kWh, which costs about $51.11 at Hawaii's residential rate — figured from the EPA's own combined range and consumption numbers, not the pack's nameplate capacity.

Where this ranks

This combination ranks 19,262 of 20,400 state/model pairs for cost savings against gas (1 is cheapest). The Tesla Model S alone ranks 20 of 400 models for efficiency; Hawaii alone ranks 51 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.
