\"The<\/div>\n

When you figure out the monthly cost of charging a Tesla<\/a> Cybertruck and compare it to filling up a Ram 1500, the gap will leave your jaw on the floor.<\/p>\n

As ever, the debate between EVs and gas cars continues to rage on.<\/p>\n

The main point of contention comes down to costs associated with the two vehicle types.<\/p>\n

Will this comparison settle the debate once and for all? We wouldn\u2019t hold our breath on that, but it makes an illuminating case.<\/p>\n

How much does charging a Tesla Cybertruck cost?<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s been no end to the debates about whether EVs trump gas cars.<\/p>\n

And when you think about it, a Cybertruck and a Ram 1500 feel like the perfect vehicles to draw direct comparisons between.<\/p>\n

These two vehicles make a natural fit for a comparison, because they are both considered full-size pickups.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a Ram 1500 owner considering a EV conversion, then a Cybertruck would be your most obvious go-to if you wanted that same driving experience.<\/p>\n

But from this point onwards, it\u2019s all about the differences.<\/p>\n

The entry-level Tesla Cybertruck starts at $79,990, putting it at nearly double the entry-level 2025 Ram 1500, which starts at $40,275.<\/p>\n

But how does it compare on charging\/fueling costs?<\/p>\n

For the sake of the comparison, let\u2019s assumption that each vehicle drives 15,000 miles a year.<\/p>\n

The average Tesla Cybertruck costs around $6.97 to charge per 100 miles driven.<\/p>\n

\n

Using the 15,000-mile measurement, the\u00a0Cybertruck<\/a>\u00a0costs around $1,045.50 per year to charge.<\/p>\n

That breaks down to a monthly electric bill of around $87.13.<\/p>\n

Not too shabby at all, but how does the Ram 1500 stack up?<\/p>\n

How does the Ram 1500 compare?<\/h2>\n

The average Ram 1500 costs $13.42 to fuel per 100 miles, which would come out at around $2,013 per year to fuel.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s about $167.75 per month.<\/p>\n

\n
\"The<\/a>
FULLTHROTTLERICK<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n

That\u2019s about double what the Cybertruck\u2019s monthly costs come down to.<\/p>\n

So while the Ram 1500 is cheaper to buy, it\u2019s costlier to keep running on the road.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no end in sight to these EV-gas comparisons<\/h2>\n

As EVs become more and more popular, more people are bound to draw up comparisons.<\/p>\n

We have seen more EV drivers proclaiming their savings in recent years \u2013 particularly\u00a0among those who drive Teslas.<\/a><\/p>\n

One\u00a0Model 3 owner broke down the <\/a>figures and threw in insurance and maintenance for good measure.<\/p>\n

And even then, there\u2019s competition among EV drivers about which brands are kinder on the wallet, as\u00a0demonstrated when this GMC Hummer owner compared his charging costs to a neighbor\u2019s Tesla<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, every person needs to do their research and take everything into account before making any big decisions.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
