How much does it cost to charge an EV at home in Alaska?

Short answer

Charging an EV at home in Alaska costs about $73.76 a month for 1,000 miles in a Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD — 7.4¢ a mile, versus 18.4¢ for a 27.2 mpg car on $5.01 gas.

• Alaska pays 27.32¢/kWh on average for Jan–Aug 2026 — 50% above the U.S. average of 18.19¢, the 8th most expensive of the 50 states and DC.
• Regular gasoline averaged $5.01/gal in the West Coast less California region (EIA, week of Oct 19, 2026), so home charging saves about $1,324 a year at 12,000 miles.
• Efficiency matters as much as price: a Tesla Model Y Standard RWD (24 kWh/100 mi) costs $65.57 a month here, a Ford F-150 Lightning ER (48) $131.14.
• Ask your utility about a time-of-use or EV rate: overnight energy is often priced well below the average shown here.
• 270 kWh a month is 48% on top of the 564 kWh an average Alaska home used each month in 2025.
