I’ve wondered how much it costs to have an electric vehicle charging station in a house, and now I have some kind of an idea…

A woman named Ruby posted a video on TikTok and talked to viewers about what her electricity bill looks like after she got an EV station in her home to charge her two Teslas.

Ruby said, “We drive about 80 to 100 miles per day, so as soon as we got home, we charged. We only charged between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m.”

She added, “That’s off-peak hours, and we have solar panels in our house, and we installed two chargers, so there is a lot of electricity used per night.”

Ruby told viewers that her energy bill is now $130 per month.
