The price of charging a Tesla Semi depends on a number of things,

[{"selector":"#anim-febe6331-c6dd-4993-86b9-69c8d5f09885 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-01442e61-1f61-49be-bbbc-58c18854326e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.59459%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-361dcc31-a857-4d5d-a1d4-1ed923d19ee0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bbfe9102-8f74-4ac7-9597-64ab2aba4e9a","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

such as how much electricity costs right now, where the charging station is,

[{"selector":"#anim-3836447d-a684-4b38-88f1-c51d13910542 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-17.752848807174544%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d758a455-23b7-4f19-b014-fdded54ad445","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.59459%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dd943d9d-9d45-49cb-aca4-cdb436d924ef","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2a6743d7-5de9-4dc9-82bc-16bd770d665e","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

and how big the battery pack is. The average cost to fully charge a Tesla Semi, which has a range of 500 miles, is around $200.

Compared to traditional diesel fuel, which can cost several thousand dollars to fill up a semi-truck,

[{"selector":"#anim-63a25b12-bc3d-4341-a78c-4eec51df792b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-14.843749786673241%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e077825d-fa33-4217-8eaa-2bfb1665e359","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.59459%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-12445730-e1fe-4638-a6e0-35a40372d0f8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-36a68f63-d8a7-463f-b607-9e98611de922","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

this price is a lot lower. Also, charging a Tesla Semi at a Tesla Supercharger is much cheaper than charging at a regular electric charging station,

making it even more cost-effective. Before taking your Tesla Semi on a long-distance trip,

you should always check the price of electricity in your area and compare the cost of charging at different charging stations.
