Does Supercharging Your Tesla Save Money?

Charging your Tesla at home offers the convenience of not having to travel to a charging station or wait for your vehicle to charge. However, this convenience comes with an increase in your electric bill. Given that charging a Tesla consumes significantly more electricity than most household appliances, it may push your usage into a higher, more expensive billing tier.

In some cases, you may actually save money by using a Tesla Supercharger, especially if the rates at your local Supercharging station are lower than your home electricity rates.
