In a TikTok video with influencer Suleyman Dolaev, the Tesla owner shared that he drives a Model 3, which he’s had for five years and has accumulated 100,000 miles.

The video has the caption: “”Owner shares how driving a Tesla saves money.”

When asked if driving an electric vehicle had saved him money, he confirmed it had, particularly because he charges his car at home instead of using a Supercharger.

“I haven’t noticed much of an increase in my electricity bill,” he added.

For example, he spends less than $400 annually on charging, which is about $0.023 per mile.

In contrast, Americans spent an average of $2,148 on gas in 2021, according to Motley Fool Money. This amount increased to $2,449 in 2022, accounting for around 3.2% of a household’s yearly expenses, says J.D. Power.

Unlike those who rely on Superchargers, he charges his car at home, keeping costs low.

On average, he estimates his monthly savings to be between $150 and $200, mainly from gas costs in New York City.

These savings are just from the energy used for charging the car, not accounting for other reductions like the need for fewer oil changes.

Beyond the savings on gas and electricity, Tesla owners also enjoy lower maintenance costs.

Since EVs don’t require oil changes or as many mechanical repairs as traditional cars, Tesla owners see savings on these fronts as well.

This specific owner emphasized that switching to an electric vehicle offers considerable financial benefits, even without factoring in the long-term savings on maintenance.

Owning a Tesla can result in significant monthly savings, especially when it comes to gas and maintenance costs.

With the potential to save $150 to $200 a month, switching to an electric vehicle can be a smart financial move.

As more people make the switch, the benefits of driving an EV continue to grow. If you’re considering going electric, Tesla owners highly recommend it.
