It’s assumed you’ll save some money when switching to EV but not everyone knows the exact amount.
Now that he’s driven 100,000 miles in his Model 3, he is crunching the numbers, and he’s impressed with what he’s found.

Does a Tesla really save you that much money?
It’s not uncommon to see those who have made the move from gas to electric bragging about just how much money they’ve saved.
One man, who’s had an electric vehicle for six years, wonders why anyone would still buy a gas car, namely for the convenience of being able to charge at home rather than have to fill up at a gas station.
Another man recently shared just how little impact charging two Teslas in his garage makes on his monthly bills.
And a couple revealed that since adding an electric car to their garage, their electricity bill only went up by $40.
Those are some pretty compelling numbers.
TikTok creator Suleyman Dolaev approached a man on the street to ask him about his Tesla.
The man happened to be R&B artist Jovian, who bought a Model 3 five years ago.
Since then, he’s driven about 100,000 miles, which is higher than average but typical for someone with a long commute.

Jovian shared that a big element of saving when you own a Tesla is having a home charging station.
“I’m able to charge at home overnight more often than having to go to Superchargers,” he said.
“I haven’t seen much of an increase in my electricity bill.”
He estimated that saves between $150 and $200 a month on gas, not to mention what he’s not spending on costs like oil changes.
While that might not sound like a huge amount, it does mean he’s potentially saved around $12,000 over five years.
That’s less than what a Bugatti Veyron’s oil change costs.
Maybe in a few years time he could buy his own Supercharger, like the billionaire who had one installed on his private island.
