Model Y at 200 km/day in winter: are six hours on a 7.4 kW charger enough?

6,088 km/month · 17% DC

The answer with these values

Electricity costs less than the compared fuels

Electricity and fuel only

What could change the choice?

How robust is this result?

€114.3 of additional cost for the cheaper car would equalise the totals over the displayed period.

Here we compare electricity with the cheapest fuel option entered. The table shows petrol, diesel and LPG separately.

What to check

  • Your tariff, AC/DC mix and actual consumption. Purchase, repairs and resale are outside this energy comparison.

Data and assumptions

Home tariffs are supplier-specific. Public rates sample two networks; time and parking fees are excluded. Consumption and charging time remain estimates for the selected conditions.

Six hours is not quite enough: home charging covers about 83% of energy, leaving about 17% for DC. Total electricity is about €231/month at this very high mileage. Eight hours covers the modelled demand at home. This is a winter scenario at 24 kWh/100 km, different from the 11 kW example.

What could change the answer?

Temperature, speed, wind, tyres, battery condition and preheating can change the result. This checks an energy budget, not a route or guaranteed range. DC queue and charging times are assumptions. Ownership, charger installation, parking and subscription costs are excluded.

Cheaper energy does not automatically mean convenient charging. Check charging stops and time in the detailed calculation, and compare each fuel separately.
