2026 Tesla Model S: home charging cost in Kansas

In Kansas, home electricity runs 15.19¢/kWh — put a 2026 Tesla Model S's EPA-rated 27.1 kWh/100mi against that and 100 miles costs $4.12, versus $16.02 for a gas car averaging 25.5 mpg. Charging at home costs a fraction of what gas would here: 74.3% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

Before you install a home charger in Kansas

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 Kansas electrician to quote the install before this math becomes a real decision.
