How much to charge your truck from say 20% to 100% and milage from that 80% use

[Ziggy Stardust]

Hope you all are having a good week and just wondering now after reading a few newer posts, I wonder if anyone knows how much it cost to charge from say 20% to 100% in a Cybertruck. I know electric rates can be a bit different in parts of the U.S. but just wondered how much you are saving over buying gas for the same amount of miles. Also how many miles will you really get on that 100% charge down to 20% (combo hiway/city).

Using my Hybrid Mavrick as a base line. it costs around $30-32 to fill up from when the "E" comes on to full. For that I will get about 525-550 miles after a fill up to full. So I can go from my home in Liberty Hill to Houston (190 Miles) and back and still have 1/4 tank at least and no need to stop between going or coming back. The Mavrick has a 13.8 Gal tank with a 2 Gal reserve still once the "E" comes on so it is not really empty. That is why I ask from 20% for you as I figure that is like my 2.7 gallon reserve.

Enjoy your Cyber and be safe and careful out there. Remember if you are in Austin area and see a Older guy in a Medium Blue Hybrid Mavrick waving to you it may be me. I got no issues with your choice and hope you are truly enjoying each day with it.

I've had my 2025 AWD for almost 6 months. I use my nearby Supercharger for all "fill-ups", I don't have a home charger. I only fill up to 80% (recommended for daily driving). 100% is only recommended for cross-country. That said, I pay approximately $27 to go from 20% to 80% charge and that requires sitting on the charger for 40-45 minutes.

As far as range, I get approximately 3 miles for every % of battery. This matches the advertised 300 mile range on a full charge.

If I divide my cost by miles driven, I get $0.20/mile. For comparison, our 2016 Prius costs $0.05/mile, our 2020 Ford Expedition 3.5L turbo V-6 costs $0.14/mile (both these are on regular gas) and our V-12 Mercedes costs $0.20/mile on Premium gas.

Hope this helps.

80% of the battery would be about 98kWh or a bit under $11 charging at home. That's about 255 miles of driving, a bit over $0.04/mile.

Costs me zero at home and about 23$ at a supercharger. FSCB 24k/miles

Thank you for the response and hope you are enjoying your CT.

So it sort of sounds like you are paying about what it costs me to fill up about the same.

The only difference is then that I can do a roundtrip without filling up (380-400 miles depending on route) where as you have to stop at some point to recharge a bit. Not a big deal really I think.

I know some here have free charging as part of the Cybertruck buy package so they are getting it free when using that supercharger.

But it sounds like I would not be saving any money if I did buy a CT vs my Hybrid. Of course your truck has more fancy stuff and better sound, etc. But being retired on a fixed income I enjoy seeing that 55-65K extra it would have cost me to buy that Cybertruck in the bank earning interest on CD's for a emergency. My days of long working and such have passed a few years ago, that and a Cybertruck is why more than me and the wife needs. But it looks like a really nice equipped vehicle.

Enjoy your Cybertruck and be safe please and careful.

How does it cost you zero at home? Even if I charge it entirely off solar that is $0.08/kwh I’m not selling back to the grid

How does it cost $0.00 at home? It is some sort of solar system it is hooked up to?

I have an FPL EVloution charger that’s a flat rate 25$ monthly. My solar over produces each month creating a positive credit that covers both the 25$ grid line connected charge and the 25$ charger fee.

That sounds like a pretty good deal.
How long do they commit to keeping that up?

You need to add in oil changes, brake pads, lubrication - normal hybrid maintenance

It’s a 10 year contract then the equipment is yours to keep so I would assume at least that. Cancel fee is only 800 tho so as long as your using more then 2 supercharge’s a month it’s worth it. More you drive the more you save. Requires connection to your WiFi so they can ping the device to deduct that Useage that goes threw the charger off your bill. Also requires you to own the home, have a garage and ofc be in the FPL service area.

Solar setup is 38 400w Tesla panels on 2 Tesla inverters. I have generated 4.7 mWh on the back array and 3.2 on the front so far in 2025.

Obviously it depends on the electricity rates in your area and where you charge - home vs. commercial Superchargers or 3rd party chargers.

For me, I rarely road trip, almost all of my driving is around metro Atlanta and my charging is done at home with a Tesla Universal Wall Charger. In my use case, I'm saving a ton on gas, here's a rough breakdown.

First off, energy rates in Georgia are generally low compared nationally. My rates are variable by season, but break down like this:

• Summer (June-October): 8¢ per kWh for the first 800 kWh, and 8.7¢ per kWh for all over 800 kWh.
  
  
• Winter (November-May): 7.8¢ per kWh for the first 400 kWh, 5.5¢ per kWh for the next 700 kWh, and 4.6¢ per kWh for all over 1100 kWh.

The Cybertruck has a 123kWh battery, so assuming $0.08/kWh and my lifetime average of 369Wh/mi (FS AWD CT):

• 20% = 24.6kWh, ~$1.97 worth of energy for 66.6 miles of range
• 80% = 98.4kWh, ~$7.87 worth of energy for 266.6 miles of range
• 100% = 123kWh, ~$9.84 worth of energy for 333.3 miles of range

An important thing to understand about electric vehicles is how incredibly efficient they are with energy usage. A single gallon of regular gas contains about 33.7kWH of energy. That means a fully charged Cybertruck holds the equivalent of ~3.64 gallons of gas, yet can travel 330 miles on that amount of energy - the equivalent of ~90mpg.

And for that 90mpg-equivalent vehicle, I have a nearly 6800lb, 600hp truck that goes WAY faster and handles WAY better than it has any right to do.

Man, that is a screaming deal! Another great benefit of living and a fabulous Florida. I found this from the Florida light and power company as well.

I drove across the country and back last year with my CB. After calculating the cost for my f350 diesel from the average cost of diesel through the trip that I saw ($3/gal) and low balling my mpg that my truck gets (I estimated 20 mpg when I know I usually get 22-24 for highway driving) I found my CB cost me an extra day of driving one way due to the 11 (as I recall) charging stops (versus 2 or 3 fuel stops for my f350) and $200 more in electric costs from the super chargers versus diesel and def (for the entire round trip). Now that being said, that roughly 7k miles would have use up most of my oil change (7500-10k miles) and that truck has about a 16 quart oil pan. So that would have been about 150 to 250 for an oil change when I got home.

So the cb ended up taking 2 more travel days aka 2 more hotel rooms or about $300 more overall. Superchargers are typically 4 to 12 times as expensive as the electricity I pay for at the house. Even more so if I charge my tesla via the off grid solar system I built with the gas savings for 2 years of driving my model y after I sold my jeep for it (was spending over $600/mo on gas on my jeep to commute and that dropped to about $40/mo for my model y or $60/mo for my CB).

TL;DR: You will generally save a good chunk of cash for commuting unless you are in a state that has very high electrical costs (CA, HI, CT, ETC) but don't expect to save much if any for long distance driving or towing.

Don't buy a Cybertruck to save money, lol.
