Idaho home charging cost for the 2026 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD

A 2026 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD draws 30.2 kWh per 100 miles per the EPA; at Idaho's 12.8¢/kWh residential rate that's $3.87 per 100 miles charged at home, versus $16.02 for a 25.5-mpg gas car covering the same distance. Charging at home costs a fraction of what gas would here: 75.8% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

Annual cost, at 15 thousands miles 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.
