2026 Tesla Model Y in Ogden, UT
Winter range, charging cost and how far it goes, worked out for Ogden's weather, grid and prices.
Ogden's winters are cool rather than cold: on a typical January day (29°F) a Model Y gets an estimated 245 miles, 20% under its 306-mile rating, about the same as in the coldest week (around December 30, when it averages 28°F). By March it's back to about 295. Charging at home at Utah's average rate (13.1¢/kWh) costs about $50 a month for 38 miles a day, about a third of the $215 an average small SUV costs on the Rocky Mountains's gas. And Ogden's grid (WECC Northwest), 18% cleaner than the US average, makes it 75% less CO₂ than gas.
Partly estimated. 2 of 5 temperature bands are from 108 real drives of this model; the rest come from 1,548 real drives in EVs at each temperature (and Recurrent's winter study below freezing), applied to its 306-mile rating. Each band switches to its own drives once it has 20 from 3 drivers.

Questions Ogden drivers ask
How far can a Model Y go in a Ogden winter?
About 245 miles on a typical January day (29°F) and about the same in the coldest week of the year (around December 30, 28°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 20% below its 306-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery. Ogden averages 68 days a year below freezing.
How much does it cost to charge a Model Y in Ogden?
About $50 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Utah's average home electricity rate of 13.1¢/kWh: about 4.3¢ a mile. An average small SUV on the Rocky Mountains's average gas ($4.47 a gallon) costs about $215 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a Model Y on a regular 120 V outlet in Ogden?
At 38 miles a day, yes, all year: a 120 V outlet adds about 41 miles in 12 hours even in Ogden's coldest week, and about 49 on an average day.
Is it greener to drive electric on Ogden's grid?
Yes, more than most places. Ogden's grid (WECC Northwest) is 18% cleaner than the US average, so a Model Y charged on it makes 75% less CO₂ than an average small SUV.
