Just bought an EV and I’m surprised to find out that level 2 & 3 charging away from the house are 5-6x more expensive than home charging! Luckily I anticipate doing 99% of my charging at home, but for someone who doesn’t have that option the operation cost savings may not be as claimed
This is why EVs are great for daily commuting where you can charge at home. Where that model doesn't apply, they make far less sense and if compared to hybrids and efficient turbo diesels, they could be the wrong answer all together.
@@tr5680 My calculations are based on his supercharging experience, if you charge at home it'll be much much cheaper. Absolutely buy a Tesla, you won't regret it and will never want to go back to an ICE car!
Agree! I only supercharge when traveling. Invest in a level 2 charger! I don’t see myself going back to an ICE anytime soon. EV’s are great daily drivers most definitely
At home charging is around $0.14kW vs Telsa Superchargers range from $0.25-38KW - so to fully charge a Model Y at home it costs $10.50 to go approximately 280-300miles per charge!
thank you for taking your time to make this video and put it up here. awesome content. straight to the point, awesome useful info and no-nonsense stuff like obnoxious background music. keep putting up more videos, please. liked and subscribed!!
@T R before you purchase a tesla i strongly advise to install an at home charger.. saves you tons of money & time.. the superchargers don’t save that much money unless you charge early in the morning before it gets expensive.. it can be a hassle sometimes too
Without solar on NEM 2.0 you’re still getting waxed in cali per kWh at home y’all are north of 30cents per kw. Home charging really only makes sense if you have solar to protect your electricity price.
Agreed, I feel very Zen while drive the Y, I don’t mind to stop to charge the battery for my vehicle, in the mean time I can watch TH-cam, check mail, check messages …., in the busy life we are in, stop for a break, balance your timer and life is the best. I don’t have a charger at home, I hope someday, some genius out there design a portable charger use solar or converter for a long trip. Love your info. Have a wonderful holiday. 👏🙏👍😊
Agree totally with a roof this completely solar, or even the whole skin of the car that will be a game changer. And happy Thanksgiving and holidays to you as well. Thank you for checking out the video.
I agree. I'm excited to get mine and I'm already planning my routine. I work late nights, so my charging will be much cheaper and I won't have many cars around me at that time.
yea on the low charging it does take some time but not a lot. i was just telling my uncle last week who is so anti-tesla. he was saying that they are to practical and so much of a hassle and takes more than 20hours to charge on a 220v home system. im like, no takes minutes and i know people sho have them and customers who come to the shop with them.
WHERE are you getting "supercharging" for .20 a KwH??? SLOW chargers in Okra-Homer are .57 cents a KwH and the "faster chargers" on the Turnpike are $1.08 a KwH or 8 MPG vs. $2.84.9 gasoline. I have done the "TON" (1000 miles in a day) on a MOTORCYCLE at 55 MPH (stop every 4 hours for fuel and pee) DOZENS of times and the "Big ONE" 2000 in 24 hours at 70-75 MPH (legal speeds) on a 'cycle and driven NON-STOP from Tulsa, OK to Limon, CO (16 hour drive) pulling an RV trailer. The home "On-Peak" electric rate in Tulsa (AEP Electric) is up to .27 cents per KwH (demand rated) and TRIPLE for EV's!
Wouldn’t the cost also depend on the time of day? I’ve seen some people pay up to 2-3 times more during the busier times during the day, when there more demand on the power grid
How much time did it take? Time = Money. For example. You are charging your car, a guy with a gas car just stopped by to see how your girlfriend is doing. She asks you how long till your car is charged and you say 20 minutes. 10 years later you find out your are paying child support on 3 kids that are not yours. Time =- Money.
In this video, the focus is primarily on the cost of charging a Tesla rather than the wait time. During stops at Tesla chargers, they typically spend around 15-25 minutes, which conveniently aligns with their needs when traveling with kids about every 3 hours. Additionally, the price of charging at home is significantly lower compared to using the supercharger network. As a result, I highly recommends home charging for day-to-day commuting needs.
Trouble with EVs is that electricity charges vary hugely by State. Then you have: off-peak at home (if you can); daily rates at home (if you can); public slow chargers; public fast chargers and all at vastly different rates. At least with gas/diesel the prices are similar except for a few stupid States. For those that cannot charge at home, there is no point in buying an EV on financial grounds.
A Tesla Model S Plaid has a 100 kwh battery correct? So how is it possible to go to a supercharger, get charged for 40 kwh, and the battery level only increases from 10% to 35%? Shouldn't the battery have increased 40% instead of only 25%?
Everyone that has a Tesla “ I never stop at a gas station!” Also every Tesla owner I spend 30 min at a charger spend $15 and get 120 miles to the next charger lol useless cars
@@Rootbeerpapi1 1000 dollar beater car... or 25.000 to 125.000 tesla? you know how many miles you can drive an old diesel with that kinda money hehe. man... if you invest that money you can make a new 1000 dollar car ever week or month or so instead of it depleting in value in your auto mobile.
It's fascinating to witness how certain individuals invest tremendous effort in seeking growth opportunities in others, sometimes inadvertently overlooking the profound essence of the overall message.
You have to do all the math including tires. EV tires wear out faster. The car won't pay for itself but you will save $ in the long run vs ICE vehicle.
A normal 4cylinder car like my moms 2017 kia forte fills up with 48$ to 52$ dollars on a empty gasoline ⛽ tank and it gives you a total 400miles range** u fill up this tesla for 18$ and it gives u 244miles 36$ it gives you 488miles ** in 2 charging sessions** trust me them miles calculate your distance travel ** 23mpg jdjdskd839495kfnfj mph fkfjjelw is nothing but gebrish crap to just confuse you its like high vocabulary words were created in Chinese words ** from immokalee to Miami is like 156miles *** the only car that has 500miles to full tank of gass is a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu 4cylinder and it cost u like 70$ to fill up a tank ** thats if gass is 3.65$ the gallon** now imgaine if gass goes to 10$ a gallon or 20$ a gallon with this 40.years left of petroleum
As the world moves towards cleaner energy and sustainable living, electric cars have become more ubiquitous on roads than ever before. However, not everyone is convinced that electric cars, especially Teslas, are the way to go. Some argue that Teslas are too expensive and impractical, while others say they’re too dependent on their batteries and charging infrastructure to be reliable. Despite these concerns, there are many benefits to using Teslas as day-to-day cars. Firstly, Teslas are much cheaper to charge than regular gasoline-powered cars. While the cost of electricity varies, as a general rule it is almost always lower than the cost of gasoline. This means that owners of Teslas can save money on fuel expenses over time compared to other cars. Plus, with Tesla charging stations widespread and charging equipment commonly available, charging is simple and easy too. Secondly, Teslas can often go several days on a single charge. This means that, for most people’s daily driving needs, it is entirely possible to go through a regular work week without needing to charge up. This means that daily life can be enjoyed without the inconvenience of gradually hunting for a gas station while queuing behind other drivers for top access. Thirdly, Teslas are great for the environment. Producing clean energy from renewable sources is more important than ever to combat climate change. With an electric car like a Tesla, you can play your part in reducing carbon emissions by minimizing and virtually eradicating your reliance on fossil fuels. In this way, not only do Teslas benefit you as an individual, but they can also bring a significant contribution to the whole planet on which we all inhabit. In conclusion, Teslas offer many benefits to consider as day-to-day cars. With a cheaper charge, supercharging convenience, the ability to go a few days without charging, and cleaner energy sources, owning a Tesla can be a great option for anyone looking to reduce their reliance on traditional gasoline-powered cars and help protect the environment.

Exactly! Basically if you can't charge at home EV's cost way more to drive then ICE cars.
damn I just did 28% to 80% in Ontario Canada and it costed me$18 CDN which is about $13.25 US
0.52 USD per Kwh here in OC Socal 😢😢😢
So it's like getting 58 MPG at $3.30 a gallon when you do the math.
Okay 👍🏾

How much was per kwh cost you? Every place is different then other and also depend on when you using it.
Interesting. I did a charge in the USA from 18% to 80% and it charged me $17.80

Depending on where you live and if you have solar panels and transfer mechanism to the car. Should be 0 dollars to charge.

It would, but he’s just giving non Tesla owners a rough idea of the cost. I’m seriously want to become an owner someday.
My accord hybrid with $20 gas can go 500+miles. I think I made right decision.
Congrats lol
Yes you did
Great share, Josh. 🙌

@@JustFrugalMe So you didnt get the joke.
If u need to wait in line for charge?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
How/where are they getting the energy to provide the electricity to charge that tesla?
Do you also ask where people get the electricity to power the rest of the planet too?
Best not bring that up 😁
Its allmost like pay for gas i dont get it why ppl byuing it
That’s only from the supercharger at home it MUCH MUCH less. I pay about $8 a month. But I bought a Tesla more for the style and the tech aspect.
agreed!
