Range figures are everywhere.
The bill is not.
Most EV cost pages quote one national average and stop. Your electricity price decides the real number, and it varies by more than 3× between states.

Model Y breakdown →How these numbers are made
Energy consumption comes from the EPA rating for the exact trim, published on fueleconomy.gov. Electricity prices come from the EIA's state residential average. Multiply the two, divide by miles, and you have dollars per mile. No estimate markup, no rounding to a nice-looking figure.
What we do not publish: seat comfort, build quality, highway noise, ride feel. Those require driving the car. We have not driven every car on this site, so we do not pretend to.
Prices and incentives move. Every page states the source and the date behind the figure so you can check it yourself.
