What it costs to charge an EV in San Diego
Home charging is far cheaper than gasoline. At CA's average residential electricity rate, here is what a typical EV costs to charge in San Diego. Your exact rate depends on PG&E / SCE / SDG&E and your plan, and we set charging to the cheapest hours during installation.
| Driving in San Diego | Home charging (EV) | Gasoline car |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per 1,000 miles | $91 | $118 |
| Overnight charge (about 200 miles) | $18 | $24 |

Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration average residential electricity price for CA (32.5¢/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 San Diego, CA
San Diego has some of the highest electricity rates in the country, so solar-plus-battery pays back faster here than almost anywhere, and Charge Home Solutions installs Powerwall, Tesla Wall Connectors, and electrical upgrades across San Diego County to Title 24 and SDG&E requirements.
We pull the city or county permit and size the service correctly, older homes in La Jolla and North Park often need a panel upgrade before a 48-amp charger. With SDG&E's steep time-of-use rates, a battery that shifts your usage off the evening peak can meaningfully cut the bill.
