how much does it cost for electricity for a Tesla
Enlarge Photo. 2013 Tesla Model S electric sport sedan [photo by owner David Noland]. At my local utility's rate of 14 cents/kWh, that works out to a total fuel cost for the year of $530, or about 3.4 cents/mile. Contrast that to about $3,000 and 20 cents/mile for a comparable car like the Mercedes S Class.
