My wife's car is the 2021 Model Y Dual Motor, and everything said by Scott, MysticLama, & Aerkuld is right on. We have solar which produces almost 3 megawatts of extra power per year. This past year was the first time I had a true up after buying the car, & we didn't pay anything for electricity used over the year. I'll be interested to see how much we may have to pay after the next period. Range on EVs can vary a lot. Getting on it is fun but uses a lot of power. Traveling uphill uses a lot too. There is a window you can sweep open on the display that shows how many watt hr./mile you are using. It updates itself every minute or so, so is an approximation. We go up an down the foothill area here. Going uphill can use around 575 Whrs./mile. Downhill it gets down to around 75 Whrs./mile. With the 75 kW battery charged to 90% there is a useable charge of around 68K/69K. If traveling on the flat, usage is around 250 to 300 so if you're on a trip that's mostly flat, you can divide 68K by 250/300 to estimate the total range. My wife has a 45 mile+ RT to work. She usually gets home with a stated range of 225 miles remaining. With the 30A, 220V charge outlet, charging time is maybe around 3 hrs. She loves the damned thing more than me.
