Iowa home charging cost for the 2026 Tesla Model X

A 2026 Tesla Model X draws 32.2 kWh per 100 miles per the EPA; at Iowa's 13.77¢/kWh residential rate that's $4.43 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: 72.3% 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 X costs roughly $665 a year to charge at home in Iowa, against roughly $2,403 a year for an equivalent gas car. That's a savings of about $1,738 a year.

Cost of a full charge

Covering the 2026 Tesla Model X's EPA-rated 352-mile range takes about 113.4 kWh, which costs about $15.61 at Iowa'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 2,174 of 20,400 state/model pairs for cost savings against gas (1 is cheapest). The Tesla Model X alone ranks 95 of 400 models for efficiency; Iowa alone ranks 9 of 51 states for electricity price.

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.
