Virginia home charging cost for the 2026 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD

A 2026 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD draws 27.5 kWh per 100 miles per the EPA; at Virginia's 16.69¢/kWh residential rate that's $4.59 per 100 miles charged at home, versus $16.02 for a 25.5-mpg gas car covering the same distance. Charging at home costs a fraction of what gas would here: 71.4% 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 Y Long Range AWD costs roughly $688 a year to charge at home in Virginia, against roughly $2,403 a year for an equivalent gas car. That's a savings of about $1,715 a year.

What one full charge costs

Covering the 2026 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD's EPA-rated 327-mile range takes about 89.9 kWh, which costs about $15.01 at Virginia's residential rate — figured from the EPA's own combined range and consumption numbers, not the pack's nameplate capacity.

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.
