In contrast, according to the average cost of electricity in the US

a Tesla Semi would use less than 2kWh of electricity per mile, or around 26 cents.

Most semi-truck EV manufacturers estimate that they use 2 to 2.5 kWh per mile, and with current electricity costs

between $0.1 and $0.20/KWh, the EV truck might be as much as $0.50/mile more cost-effective to operate.
