Winter and summer: the effect on cost

For the reference version (P85D, 22 kW-AC · 2014), in an oceanic climate (western France) and mixed driving: 21.8 kWh/100 km in January, i.e. €3.88 per 100 km off-peak, against 19.3 kWh/100 km in July, i.e. €3.44. Charging therefore costs about 13 % more in January than in July.

Compared with other models

At 19.1 kWh/100 km (reference version), the Tesla Model S ranks 136 out of 230 models in the Watt Budget database, from most to least frugal. The median is 18.4 kWh/100 km.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a full charge of the Tesla Model S cost at home?

For the reference version (P85D, 22 kW-AC · 2014), charging from 10 to 80 % (56.6 kWh stored) costs about €3.20 – €3.79 off-peak and €12.68 at the standard rate. A full 0 to 100 % charge costs about €14.38 off-peak.

How much does rapid charging cost?

At €0.49 per kWh, a 10 → 80 % charge costs about €9.26 – €10.96 for the reference version (P85D, 22 kW-AC · 2014), i.e. €9.83 per 100 km. The real price depends on the network and your subscription.

Does charging cost more in winter?

Yes, consumption rises in cold weather: about 13 % more in January than in July for this version, in an oceanic climate and mixed driving.
