Tesla

Most Tesla owners charge at home typically overnight giving themselves a “full tank” each morning. Home charging rate will depend on the type of plug you have installed, but can add 37 miles of range per hour on a 240V, 50A outlet.

While on a longer road trip that requires a charge the best place to charge is at a Tesla Supercharger. Depending on the Supercharger, number of available slots, state of charge and temperature Superchargers can add 170 miles of range per 30 minutes for a Long Range Model 3.

You can find Superchargers using Tesla’s Interactive Map or though the in-car navigation.

The other option are Destination Chargers or Public Chargers. These locations are often Level 2 chargers and charge at a rate closer to like charging at home. Some are provided at no-cost while others charge a small usage fee. I would recommend using Tesla’s Interactive Map, Chargepoint and PlugShare to find these charging locations.

Tesla has stated that they do not want the Superchargers to be a profit center and will pass on the cost at the lowest possible rate.

• All new Tesla vehicles require a fee to Supercharge.
• Where possible, owners are billed per kWh (kilowatt-hour), which is the most fair and simple method. In other areas, we bill for the service per minute.
• Pricing to use a Supercharger may vary by location, and prices may change from time to time. All prices include taxes and fees.
• Average pricing information is provided on Tesla’s site and specific pricing for each Supercharger location is shown in the navigation application on the vehicle touchscreen.
