How much does it cost to charge a Cybertruck?

A full charge for a 2025–2026 Tesla Cybertruck AWD costs about $25.16 at home, at the US average residential electricity rate of 18¢/kWh. Filling up the same car costs $17.26 in Idaho, the cheapest state, and $46.47 in California — your own rate decides it.

That full charge draws roughly 140 kWh from the wall and buys 325 miles of EPA-rated range — about $0.077 a mile.

What it costs at three real electricity rates

Your rate is the only input that really moves this number, so here is the same car at three real ones — the cheapest state, the national average, and the most expensive large mainland market.

Hawaii is higher still at 52¢ — a 4.2:1 spread from the cheapest state to the dearest. EPA figures checked September 2026; electricity rates checked August 2026.

What it costs per mile

A Tesla Cybertruck costs about $0.077 a mile to charge at home at the US average electricity rate, or $7.74 per 100 miles. That is energy only — the EPA rates this car at 43 kWh per 100 miles measured at the wall socket, so charging losses are already inside the figure and should not be added again.

Per mile is the number that survives a change of car: it does not care about battery size, so it is the only fair way to line this car up against one with a much bigger or smaller pack.

What it adds to your electricity bill

Charging a Tesla Cybertruck at home adds about $77 a month to your electricity bill at the US average rate, driving 12,000 miles a year. That is the yearly cost of $929 spread evenly across twelve months — a month with a road trip in it costs more, and a quiet one costs less.

Nothing else on the bill changes: the car draws the same kilowatt-hours whatever else is running in the house, so the increase is the charging and nothing more.

At the cheapest state rate the same driving adds $53 a month, and $143 at the most expensive — the table above has all three. If your utility offers an overnight or time-of-use rate, charging on it lands at the low end rather than the middle.

Where the numbers come from

The EPA rates this AWD at 43 kWh per 100 miles with 325 miles of combined range. Those two figures together give the energy for a full charge, which is where the 140 kWh above comes from.

We work it out that way rather than quoting a battery size on purpose. Manufacturers publish gross capacity, which includes a buffer at each end of the pack that never takes a charge, so a cost built on it overstates your bill. And the EPA measures at the wall socket rather than at the battery, so charging losses are already inside the figure — no need to add them, and adding them would count the same loss twice.

What this means for this car

For a truck its size the Cybertruck is frugal. At 43 kWh per 100 miles the AWD uses about 10% less energy per mile than a Ford F-150 Lightning Extended Range and a third less than a Hummer EV, though it still draws 72% more than a Tesla Model Y to cover the same ground. This page covers the 2025 and 2026 model years, which the EPA rates identically at 43 kWh per 100 miles and 325 miles of range; fueleconomy.gov carries no 2024 Cybertruck record, and no record for the three-motor Cyberbeast in any year. The rating worth knowing is the rear-wheel-drive Long Range sold for 2025. On its standard wheels it was rated 41, the lowest figure of any Cybertruck listed, but on the optional 20-inch Cyber wheels the same truck is rated 43 with the same 335-mile range. The wheel option cancels the saving from dropping a motor, so a rear-drive truck on Cyber wheels costs as much per mile as the AWD. For 2026 only the Cyber-wheel Long Range is listed, and the renamed Dual Motor AWD rounds to the same 43 and 325 miles, so every 2026 version sits level on energy per mile and differs only in how far it goes between charges.

How it compares

All at 18¢/kWh and 12,000 miles a year. The gas comparison is illustrative — it is not a claim about any particular car.
