2026 Tesla Model 3 Premium RWD, ID Charging Cost

2026 Tesla Model 3 Premium RWD: home charging cost in Idaho

In Idaho, home electricity runs 12.8¢/kWh, put a 2026 Tesla Model 3 Premium RWD's EPA-rated 24.6 kWh/100mi against that and 100 miles costs $3.15, versus $16.02 for a gas car averaging 25.5 mpg. Charging at home costs a fraction of what gas would here: 80.3% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

What a year of driving costs

Getting set up to charge a 2026 Tesla Model 3 Premium RWD at home

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.

Ask a licensed Idaho electrician to quote the install before this math becomes a real decision.

Where these figures come from

Every figure on this page traces to a named EIA or EPA dataset, see the methodology guide. Idaho is one of the cheapest states for home electricity, the guide to why the cost varies so much by state covers what drives that.
