What it costs to charge an EV in Houston
Home charging is far cheaper than gasoline. At TX's average residential electricity rate, here is what a typical EV costs to charge in Houston. Your exact rate depends on Oncor, CenterPoint, CPS Energy, or Austin Energy and your plan, and we set charging to the cheapest hours during installation.
| Driving in Houston | Home charging (EV) | Gasoline car |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per 1,000 miles | $43 | $118 |
| Overnight charge (about 200 miles) | $9 | $24 |
| Typical cost per mile | 4.3¢ | 11.8¢ |
Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration average residential electricity price for TX (15.5¢/kWh), a typical EV efficiency of 0.28 kWh per mile, and a 28 mpg gas car at about $3.30 per gallon. Shown for comparison; your actual utility rate and time-of-use plan determine final cost.
Serving Houston, TX
After the 2021 winter freeze and repeated hurricane-season outages, Houston homeowners lead Texas in home-battery interest, and Charge Home Solutions installs Tesla Powerwall, EV chargers, and electrical upgrades across Harris County. A Powerwall keeps your home powered when the grid strains in a freeze or a storm.
We work in CenterPoint Energy territory, pull the City of Houston or county permit, and size the service for large suburban homes, long driveways in Katy and Sugar Land often mean a longer charger run, which we plan for in the estimate. Panel upgrades are common in older Heights and Montrose homes before a 48-amp charger.

Houston, frequently asked questions
Yes. Houston's grid has failed in both winter freezes and hurricanes; a Powerwall backs up your essentials, or the whole home, automatically, so heat, refrigerator, and internet keep running.
We do. Our licensed electricians pull the City of Houston or Harris County electrical permit and coordinate with CenterPoint for any service change, then schedule inspection.
