2026 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD: home charging cost in Nebraska

In Nebraska, home electricity runs 12.7¢/kWh — put a 2026 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD's EPA-rated 27.5 kWh/100mi against that and 100 miles costs $3.49, versus $16.02 for a gas car averaging 25.5 mpg. Charging at home costs a fraction of what gas would here: 78.2% less than gas per mile, here specifically.

What a year of driving costs

Driving 15,000 miles a year — fueleconomy.gov's own default assumption — a 2026 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD charged at home in Nebraska costs about $524/year in electricity, against about $2,403/year for the gas-car comparison. That's a savings of about $1,879 a year.

Cost of a full charge

A 2026 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD needs roughly 89.9 kWh to reach its EPA-rated 327-mile range, which runs about $11.42 at 12.7¢/kWh in Nebraska.

Where this ranks

This combination ranks 163 of 20,400 state/model pairs for cost savings against gas (1 is cheapest). The Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD alone ranks 23 of 400 models for efficiency; Nebraska alone ranks 2 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.

Where these figures come from

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