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.

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.
