Couple who bought two Teslas and logged 500 miles a week stunned after checking their electricity bills

A couple who bought two Teslas and logged 500 miles a week were left stunned after checking their electricity bills, after tracking what it actually cost to charge both EVs at home in Florida.

One US-based creator said he and his wife each rack up roughly 500 miles every week, so their charging routine is pretty intense.

He also noted their numbers come with a summer asterisk because hotter weather means the home AC runs more, which bumps the electricity bill up anyway.

Even so, the couple’s month-to-month electricity totals were not the scary spike people expect when two EVs move into the driveway.

Two Teslas, 500 miles a week

This Floridian couple drives a Tesla Model Y Performance and a Tesla Model 3 Long Range, which matters because range changes how often you need to plug in.

He said he averages around 500 to 550 miles a week, while his wife is closer to 500, meaning both EVs see plenty of road time.

On charging, he tops up about five to six times a week, while his wife charges closer to three to four.

A key detail is that they are not charging from zero to 100 percent every time.

He follows the common Tesla habit of plugging in regularly and charging to around 70 to 90 percent, aiming to keep the battery comfortably topped up and avoid paying more at public (more expensive) Superchargers.

Electricity bills compared to gas costs

Before either Tesla arrived, their household electricity bill averaged about $225 a month over the first five months in their home.

After he bought the Model Y and charged it through the cooler months, he said their bill actually dipped to about $214.80 on average.

The real test came once both Teslas were charging at home during the warmer season.

Their latest bill jumped to $267.32, which is higher than the single-car period, but only a bit above their pre-Tesla average, especially considering the air conditioning was working harder at the same time.

To put it in real-world terms, he compared that to what they used to spend on fuel.

Back when they were driving gas cars, he estimates they were spending roughly $320 a month on petrol for two vehicles, so the two Teslas are a cheaper option.

Even if the electricity bills creep higher in peak summer, the electricity increase was modest enough that they still come out ahead vs. paying for gas, and he told other would-be buyers not to panic about the light bill.
