Tesla vs. Gasoline: Analyzing Fuel Costs in 2025 | February 26 2026, 04:07

We bought a Tesla in mid-2025 – comparing gasoline costs to electricity costs.

Looking just at charging the Tesla, the stats are separate. Since buying, we’ve used 5000 kWh costing $738 – covering 13,550 miles. Meaning, traveling 18 miles (28 km) costs one dollar. On a Toyota RAV4, one dollar spent at the gas station gets me 10 miles (16 km).
