Louisiana home charging cost for the 2026 Tesla Model S

In Louisiana, home electricity runs 13.51¢/kWh — put a 2026 Tesla Model S's EPA-rated 27.1 kWh/100mi against that and 100 miles costs $3.67, versus $16.02 for a gas car averaging 25.5 mpg. Charging at home costs a fraction of what gas would here: 77.1% 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 S costs roughly $550 a year to charge at home in Louisiana, against roughly $2,403 a year for an equivalent gas car. That's a savings of about $1,853 a year.

Filling up the 2026 Tesla Model S, in dollars

Covering the 2026 Tesla Model S's EPA-rated 410-mile range takes about 111.2 kWh, which costs about $15.03 at Louisiana's residential rate — figured from the EPA's own combined range and consumption numbers, not the pack's nameplate capacity.

How this compares nationally

This combination ranks 335 of 20,400 state/model pairs for cost savings against gas (1 is cheapest). The Tesla Model S alone ranks 20 of 400 models for efficiency; Louisiana alone ranks 8 of 51 states for electricity price.

Before you install a home charger in Louisiana

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