Tesla Owner’s Astonishingly Low Electric Bill: A Tesla owner recently shocked many by revealing his annual electricity bill after a year of driving his Tesla. Despite the high price tag of the car, the cost of running it turned out to be much lower than expected.
Surprisingly Low Cost: On X (formerly Twitter), the man shared that his total electric bill for the year was just $2.37 (£1.89). This is far less than what most people might anticipate for charging a Tesla. “First time I have had a bill within the last 12 months,” he noted.
The Power of the Powerwall: The secret behind the low bill is the Tesla Powerwall, a large battery that integrates with the home’s power system. When paired with solar panels, it stores excess energy, which is then used to charge the Tesla. Although the Powerwall itself is expensive, it can significantly reduce charging costs over time.
Long-Term Savings: While the upfront cost of a Powerwall is high, ranging from $11,500 (£9,000) to $15,000 (£11,800), it could be a worthwhile investment for long-term Tesla owners.
