A two-time Tesla owner has revealed how much he pays each month to charge both of his vehicles and the results are 'significant'.

Well, should you ever find yourself in a position in life where you can afford not just one, but two Teslas and fancy knowing how much it'll set you back in your electricity bill then don't worry, a YouTuber has you covered.

Travel Tesla Dad took to his YouTube page to break down how much he spends per month on charging his two Tesla vehicles - a model Y and a model three.

The content creator explained that he lives in California and doesn't use solar panels to help generate cheaper electricity, instead on a plan called 'Time of Use'.

The YouTuber said he 'typically' charges his vehicles between 8:00am and 4:00pm on weekdays or after 9:00pm because he pays 21 cents and revealed the breakdown of this when it comes to charging his two electric vehicles.

Travel Tesla Dad revealed the total energy he used to charge his two electric vehicles came to 1,342 kWh.

The breakdown of the bill saw the cars use 213 kWh in mid-peak, 705 kWh in off-peak and 424 kWh in super off-peak.

This is a total of $105.55 in mid-peak, $141.34 in off-peak and $85.01 in super off-peak, coming to a grand total of $331.90.

Some 'other credits and charges' of $36.45 then take this to a 'whopping' $368.35.

"I could easily tell this is due to my model three," the YouTuber added, before breaking each vehicle down further.

The YouTuber shared the Tesla report on the vehicle which states the car was charged with a total of 428 kWh which cost him $85.

On the other hand, the Model Y saw a total of 463 kWh used and a spend of $45.

And it's not taken long for social media users to weigh in.

One YouTube user wrote: "Consider that most people spend about $70 per week if not more on gas, this is significantly less expensive. Nice break down, thanks for the vid!"

Another added: "The app makes it real easy to see the break down. Not only is is cheaper than gas but also way more convenient than stopping at gas stations."

A third commented: "Cost 8.2c/kwh off peak for me. I live in Canada Toronto. Been saving so much gas money with my Tesla."

And a fourth simply resolved: "If you can afford this magnificent machine, all power to you."
