Tips to Reduce Charging Costs
- Charge at home overnight whenever possible. The Model 3's 57.5 kWh battery fills up on a standard home charger in about 8 hours, and home electricity is typically much cheaper than public fast charging.
- Use the Model 3's scheduled charging feature to charge during off-peak hours. Set it up once in the car's settings, and it handles the timing automatically.
- On road trips, charge to about 80% at DC fast chargers. The Model 3 charges quickly up to 175 kW early in the session, but the speed drops significantly above 80%, so you pay more per kWh for those last 20%.
- Use Tesla's route planner, which factors in Supercharger pricing and suggests cost-efficient stops. It often beats third-party chargers on price for short top-ups.
- Keep tire pressure at the recommended level. The Model 3 is aerodynamic by design, but underinflated tires increase rolling resistance and push your consumption above that efficient 147 Wh/km baseline.
For daily driving, plugging in at home every night and keeping the charge limit around 80% is the most cost-effective approach. Public fast charging is convenient for road trips, but using it regularly for daily top-ups can cost two to three times more than home charging.
