Tesla Cybertruck: charging cost vs gas
We've set the Tesla Cybertruck as your EV below. Pick the gas car you'd compare against, set your prices and miles, and see the real cost difference — and the break-even.
Efficiency 2.2 mi/kWh
EPA range 320 mi
From ~$80,000
Typical gas rival 18 mpg
The Cybertruck is heavy and only moderately efficient (~2.2 mi/kWh), but it's competing with full-size pickups that struggle to hit 18 mpg — so the per-mile fuel cost still comes out well below gas, particularly when charged at home.
Trucks that tow or haul a lot will see efficiency drop, narrowing the gap. But for a daily-driver truck on home charging, the running-cost savings against a gas pickup are real.
What to keep in mind
- Compared against ~18 mpg gas trucks, even ~2.2 mi/kWh saves per mile.
- Towing and hauling cut EV efficiency hard — model your real use.
- Home charging keeps it cheap; frequent fast-charging erodes the advantage.
