2026 Tesla Model Y Long Range RWD: home charging cost in New Mexico

In New Mexico, home electricity runs 14.82¢/kWh — put a 2026 Tesla Model Y Long Range RWD's EPA-rated 25.2 kWh/100mi against that and 100 miles costs $3.74, versus $16.02 for a gas car averaging 25.5 mpg. Charging at home costs a fraction of what gas would here: 76.7% 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 Long Range RWD charged at home in New Mexico costs about $561/year in electricity, against about $2,403/year for the gas-car comparison. That's a savings of about $1,842 a year.

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.

Ask a licensed New Mexico electrician to quote the install before this math becomes a real decision.
