California Charging Costs
Supercharging in California averages $0.30-$0.40/kWh depending on location and time of day. Off-peak charging (9 PM - 12 PM) can save 20-30%. A typical session costs $12-$20 for 150-200 miles of range.
Home charging in California averages $0.20/kWh on standard rates, or as low as $0.08/kWh on time-of-use plans during off-peak hours. With solar panels (common in CA), many Tesla owners charge for free.
