Cost to Charge a Tesla Model X
Updated September 2026 · U.S. average rates
The short answer: at the national average rate, a full home charge of the Tesla Model X (100 kWh usable, ~335 miles of range) costs about $18.78 — 6.3¢ per mile, or $62.59 per 1,000 miles. The same charge at a public DC fast charger runs roughly $43.00. Versus a 32-mpg gas car, home charging saves about $35.84 per 1,000 miles.
Living with a Tesla Model X: the cost story
The Model X is the heaviest passenger car Tesla makes and its consumption shows it, but the Supercharger network keeps its road-trip costs predictable in a way its luxury-SUV rivals still can't fully match.
The falcon doors get the attention; the tow rating does the work. Like every heavy EV, hitching up roughly doubles the energy bill — plan trips with that math, not the solo-driving figure.

Tesla Model X charging speed & home charger
Cost does not depend on speed — a kWh is a kWh — but time does. These estimates use the Tesla Model X's onboard AC limit (11.5 kW) and its typical DC fast-charging peak (~250 kW); real sessions taper as the battery fills.
Home charger sizing: the Tesla Model X tops out at 11.5 kW on AC, so a 48-amp charger on a 60-amp circuit reaches its limit — a bigger unit adds nothing. Overnight (8 hours) on Level 2 restores about 248 miles, more than most daily driving. See Level 1 vs Level 2 and how many kWh it takes to charge an EV.
