2026 Tesla Model Y Performance AWD, ID Charging Cost

2026 Tesla Model Y Performance AWD: home charging cost in Idaho

A 2026 Tesla Model Y Performance AWD draws 32 kWh per 100 miles per the EPA; at Idaho's 12.8¢/kWh residential rate that's $4.09 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: 74.4% 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 Performance AWD charged at home in Idaho costs about $614/year in electricity, against about $2,403/year for the gas-car comparison. That's a savings of about $1,789 a year.

Cost of a full charge

A 2026 Tesla Model Y Performance AWD needs roughly 97.8 kWh to reach its EPA-rated 306-mile range, which runs about $12.52 at 12.8¢/kWh in Idaho.

Where this ranks

This combination ranks 1,182 of 20,400 state/model pairs for cost savings against gas (1 is cheapest). The Tesla Model Y Performance AWD alone ranks 85 of 400 models for efficiency; Idaho alone ranks 3 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.

Line up a few Idaho electrician quotes for Level 2 install before you commit either way.

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.
