Where it sits among 2027 models
Each tick is the annual fuel cost of one of the 156 vehicles of model year 2027 on this site. The 2027 Tesla Model 3 is the 11th cheapest to charge. Over five years EPA estimates it saves $8,500 in fuel compared with the average new vehicle.
What this figure is
It is EPA's own annual cost estimate, the kind printed on a new car's window sticker. It assumes 15,000 miles a year, 55% of them in the city and 45% on the highway, at the national electricity prices EPA uses, which it revises from time to time.
To estimate your own cost, scale it by your mileage: someone who drives 10,000 miles a year would pay about two thirds of the figure. Electricity prices where you charge move it too. The efficiency ratings come from EPA's standard laboratory tests.
