What it costs to charge an EV in Tucson
Home charging is far cheaper than gasoline. At AZ's average residential electricity rate, here is what a typical EV costs to charge in Tucson. Your exact rate depends on APS / SRP / TEP and your plan, and we set charging to the cheapest hours during installation.
| Driving in Tucson | 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 AZ (15.3¢/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 Tucson, AZ
Tucson's intense desert sun and summer heat make solar-plus-battery and EV charging a strong fit, and Charge Home Solutions installs Tesla Wall Connectors, Powerwall, and electrical upgrades across Pima County. Tucson Electric Power serves the area, and a battery stores solar to run the AC through peak hours and any outage.
We pull the city or county permit and size the service for heavy cooling loads, homes in the Catalina Foothills and Oro Valley frequently add a 200-amp upgrade to support a charger plus AC. We factor in TEP rates and programs where they apply.

Tucson, frequently asked questions
Tucson has abundant sun and steep summer peak rates. A Powerwall stores your solar to run the AC through expensive afternoon hours and to keep cooling on during an outage, a safety matter in desert heat.
We do. Our licensed electricians pull the city or Pima County electrical permit, coordinate any Tucson Electric Power service change, and schedule inspection.
