Charging at home in Georgia

The headline figures assume you pay Georgia’s average residential price for every kWh. Utilities such as Georgia Power sell EV plans with cheaper overnight hours: the table above shows the gap between charging at the best hour and plugging in at dinner time.

A full charge here means the energy to drive the car’s full EPA range (327 miles for the Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD), which is how the cost of a “tank” compares with gasoline. Public fast chargers set their own prices per kWh or per minute; the EV charging cost calculator lets you enter yours next to your home plan.
