    Good, thorough explanations for both the HPWC and the Superchargers, Lorraine. I do think potential EV shoppers should know that, unlike other automakers, Tesla does NOT cover the battery's onboard AC-to-DC charger (PCS) in the High Power Battery Service Panel under its High Power Battery Warranty. Many owners whose Model 3s are now 3, 4, 5 years old are finding that their PCS is failing -and the repair can cost as much as $2K out of pocket!

    One question 🙋‍♂️ I have is have much does it cost to drive a 100 miles on Tesla supercharger electricity ⚡️?
    Compare that to how much it cost to drive 100 miles on 🏠 home electricity.

      No surge protection (that should be part of your switchboard) and yes its a good idea to unplug during a Storm.

  • @Resist4

    My local Supercharger station is listed on the map as being 250kW chargers, yet each stall has a 150kW sign on them. Don't know what's up with that.

  • @bh9262
    @bh9262 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    This past week I paid at a specific supercharger $11.52 to charge from 22% to 90% in 38 min. On the return, same charger $20.80, 37% to 97%, 43 min. Any reason for the extreme cost difference?

    • @CallasEV
      @CallasEV  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Some chargers (mostly in california) utilize time-of-use billing. This allows them to give discounts on non-peak rates. So your cost per kwh would be different depending on the time of day. The other reason could be if you live in a state that does time based billing rather than billing for energy used. This one sounds unlikely though since you only had a 5 minute difference. I'd take a look at the invoice and see if it had two different rates per kWh and double check if that charger featues time of use pricing. Hope that helps!
