What it costs to charge an EV in San Jose
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 Jose. 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 Jose | Home charging (EV) | Gasoline car |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per 1,000 miles | $91 | $118 |
| Overnight charge (about 200 miles) | $18 | $24 |
| Typical cost per mile | 9.1¢ | 11.8¢ |
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 Jose, CA
In San Jose and Silicon Valley, EV adoption is among the highest in the country and PG&E rates are steep, so Charge Home Solutions installs a heavy mix of Tesla Wall Connectors, Powerwall, and solar-ready panel upgrades across Santa Clara County to Title 24 and local code.
We pull the city or county permit and size the service correctly, older Willow Glen and Rose Garden homes often need a 200-amp upgrade before a 48-amp charger. With PG&E's high time-of-use rates and Public Safety Power Shutoffs, a Powerwall both trims the bill and keeps the home running through an outage.

San Jose, frequently asked questions
Two reasons: PG&E's steep time-of-use rates make storing solar for the evening peak worthwhile, and Public Safety Power Shutoffs make backup valuable. A Powerwall does both.
