Tesla Supercharger Cost: Per kWh, Per Fill, and vs Gas

There is no single Tesla Supercharger price. On September 8, 2026, seven Tesla site pages in Washington and Texas showed Tesla drivers paying anywhere from 17 to 50 cents per kilowatt-hour depending on the site and the hour, with other EVs paying 39 to 52 percent more at the three sites open to them. A Model 3 adding 100 miles pays about 5 to 12 dollars at those rates, against about 4.50 at home and 15 on gas. Here is why every site is priced differently, what a full charge costs by model, how the congestion fee works, and how to read your own rate before you plug in.

Why Your Tesla Is Charging Slowly (and When It's Normal)

A Tesla charging slowly is usually doing what its charger allows. A standard 120-volt outlet adds 2 to 3 miles of range an hour, a 240-volt outlet up to 30, and a Wall Connector up to 44, per Tesla's own home-charging page. At a Supercharger the rate falls as the battery fills, drops in the cold, and can drop again on sites where two stalls share one power cabinet. Here is every documented cause, the number that counts as normal for each, and the one setting that quietly caps your car.
