She buys a Tesla, drives 700 miles, and is shocked after doing the math: “It’s basically $35 a month”
The vehicle owner was trying to check the increase in her electricity bill after buying the car.

Proper car maintenance is crucial to extending its lifespan. This applies not only to diesel and gasoline vehicles but also to electric cars, which are becoming an increasingly established segment in the market.
Tesla is one of the leading brands in the industry. The American multinational reported a total revenue of $97.69 billion in 2024, with sales approaching one million units in the U.S. One of the factors influencing customers to buy, as with other electric vehicles, is the cost of charging.
A woman expressed her surprise in a video posted on YouTube after calculating the actual cost of charging her electric vehicle. She also analyzed how this expense affected her electricity bill. The cost varies depending on the type of charging and the rate during peak and off-peak hours.
In the end, she concluded that the cost was not too high. “It’s basically $35 a month on average if I drive around 700 miles."
This statement came after she disclosed an electricity consumption of 162 kWh in the last month. She also mentioned that the cost of charging her vehicle varies depending on the state. In her video, she showed a comparative table of prices by region, with Hawaii being the most expensive.
