If “most” cars on the road were electric, it’s guaranteed the utilities would raise rates because of the increased demand on the grid.

Every crash /collapse/inflation or a recession offers an equal market opportunity if you are well prepared and knowledgeable. I've seen people accumulate up to $800, 000 during crises and even pull it off with ease in a bad economy. Without a doubt, the bubble or crash has made someone extremely wealthy.

Glad you called out variable electrical pricing. This is common in a few parts in the United States and worth being aware of because that will greatly affects the return on investment from going with an electric vehicle. In terms of price gouging concerns, just like gas stations and oil companies, they’re pretty content with profits that hit a certain margin and know that if they go to out-of-control they lose their customer. Some thing I think a lot of folks will forget because people simply don’t understand the way energy economics work and there’s a lot of the hood that doesn’t relate to politics and greed. That being said, the other thing to remember is that some states have publicly owned utility rates. Publicly owned utility grids, while not the only form of ownership, are going to be pretty steady in price and are very unlikely to price gouge unless some kind of new bill is passed by your legislation that allows them to change the cost of the energy production or energy dispersement. So all in all people should feel safe about the cost of electricity, especially when renewable energies are slowly becoming more capable and hopefully will be main stream in the next 5 to 10 years making electricity more affordable than it is currently.

I run an extention cord to the neighbors, it has saved me thousands!!!

[CharlesinGA]

Another easy way to measure the current and cost is to buy a Kill-A-Watt which you plug into the outlet and then plug your car's cord into it. You program it for the cost per Kwh and it will show how much power you have consumed and how much it costs. It also shows voltage, amps, and cycles. Its less than $30.

Great video! It really helped me understand how the costs work out. THANK YOU! I'm a subscriber now!

6:25 A 10 minute video to tell how much a Tesla charge cost. Thank you for the video!

[FoxRivers]

I'm glad you said you had roommates. That electric bill would be outrageous for one person.

[Bossinator]

Hey I would rather pay only a electric bill only then having to buy both

[hatespeechandgraphicviolen]

Price depends on local cost per unit of energy. It also typically needs a house to charge it.

[cindirose]

Shelby, great video, and i did enjoy! Could you tell us how much your var cost when purchased? And do you notice if the charging places away from your house are crowde

[younesrabhi]

after 10 years of charging cycles, your battery will most likely needs replacement so about 20 grand or so, what did you save ?

[kaitlynramirez]

Thanks for making this video!! I’ve always been curious about the specifics of this!

[VisosTravel]

Very cool info. Thank you very much. Not ready for an electric vehicle yet. How long does it take to charge it on the supercharger

[BengyM]

Curious. What’s the lifetime of the batteries? What’s the replacement cost of the batteries? What’s the impact on the environment of mining nickel for those batteries?

[artm.]

Awesome vid! You broke it all the way down in a way that makes it easy to figure out and understand the cost of charging a ev. You covered all the angles, thanks. It all works so long as the electricity co. keep the rates down

[SpencerOlson]

Brb gonna show this video to my dad to convince him to get a Tesla lmao

[rwells]

You can't just use the Kw charge, there is taxes, surcharges, recovery fees and whatever else they can dream up to add to your bill.

[freddylawson]

How long does it take to fully charge that car though?. If you had to travel to San Fran. How long would it take to go there and back if you just did a turn around?

[ronbrooks]

Now im curious to how long it takes your tesla to charge. Seems like double the time on a regular charging port. Based on Watt output.
