2026 Tesla Model S Plaid, UT Charging Cost

2026 Tesla Model S Plaid: home charging cost in Utah

In Utah, home electricity runs 13.17¢/kWh, put a 2026 Tesla Model S Plaid's EPA-rated 30.6 kWh/100mi against that and 100 miles costs $4.03, versus $16.02 for a gas car averaging 25.5 mpg. Charging at home costs a fraction of what gas would here: 74.9% 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 S Plaid charged at home in Utah costs about $604/year in electricity, against about $2,403/year for the gas-car comparison. That's a savings of about $1,799 a year.

What one full charge costs

Before you install a home charger in Utah

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

Where these figures come from

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