They are cheapest in the UK too and the most reliable. I drive a Polestar 2 and its a no-brainer to prioritise them over alternative (which there are many)
Since I bought a Tesla before 1/1/17, before Tesla ended Free Unlimited Supercharging, I've never had to "pay at the pump" for Supercharging. And I just traded in my 2016 Model S for a 2024 Model X and took advantage of the Free Supercharging transfer and Free FSD transfer. So, I won't be paying for Supercharging for another 8 years, at least. Hooray!! On the other hand, getting access to Tesla's Supercharger Network back in those days was a $2,000 Option at the time of purchase. So, technically, I DID have to pay a LOT up front to get "Free Unlimited Supercharging!" Boooo!! And the final irony... I hardly ever use the Supercharger Network since you charge to full every night at home. Only on road trips do you need it --- UNLESS you don't have access to home or work charging. But if you have a house and an electrical outlet (especially a 240v/50amp outlet), then 99% of the time you don't need to Supercharge. Your gas station is your garage!
Between free 30 minute DC fast charging at Volta going to work and Electrify America for road trips in myID4 I can minimize my home charging expenses. Looking forward to being able to use Tesla Superchargers next year here in US but doubt I will buy a subscription
Most vehicles are parked 23hrs every day, and so a little top up daily is ezi pezi for home power supply.
@@chrisjohnston3978 noone wants to minimize the home charging - you’re still wasting half an hour or more when you could be fully charged for a few dollars at home. Some people will step over a dollar to pick up a penny.
Good deal. Also, no long time subscriptions. I could pay for just a month or two in the summer. As you say, most charging is done at home. 🙂
Before I bought my Tesla I had a lot of problems charging my Kia e Niro at Tesla superchargers, my MG ZS EV would not charge at all. Maybe it has improved.
Charge fox is cheaper than Tesla in Australia
EVERYONE is cheaper than Tesla in Australia. They should have given Tesla OWNERS 25% off IMO. (Which is why I mainly use ChargeFox)
Chargefox are also much less reliable than Tesla chargers
I charged at a Tesla charger for the first time today (non Tesla vehicle) and it was 85c a kWh. Crikey! That is VERY expensive.
@IXXIBoss wow for me it's 62c a kW on my tesla and even that is expensive, compared to charge fox
Barely cheaper then petrol
One big reason why i bought a Tesla was because of its tesla only charging infrastructure so not happy that it is now being opened to any ev.
I hope Tesla one day can come up with something else than slashing prices for marketing.
What a troll.
Tesla does not slash prices for reasons of marketing! It does so a) because it can, and b) because making EV affordable is the company's mission!
Truly amazing signature of the Hopeless troll. Complains when a major manufacturer lowers prices significantly. Absolutely pathetic
Maybe they should honor Nikola Tesla and offer free supercharging for the whole world. Wouldn't that make EVs an instant hit? Free electricity Subsidized by Governemnt lol. One can dream
@@worstusername22 The cost of supercharging is negligible compared to filling up an ICE vehicle. The real plus is the quality and size of the supercharging network... as Tesla proved. It costs money to develop and maintain such a network. So, I don't mind paying a fair price for the little out-of-home charging that I do!
Prices at the tesla chargers over here are still the same atm.
The few times I have used a Supercharger for my Y in California it has been 35 cent per kw . It was higher last year. California electricity prices are the highest in the nation, and it's suppose to be the green energy state,
you can't complain because you are saving the planet from climate change. haha
Yes but it's also got the most corrupt Public Utilities Commission in human history
Charge at home overnight = Cheap
Charge at home overnight = Cheap
.10/ kw here in Virginia. Love the close-by, big nuclear-powered battery providing EV fuel when solar just can’t.
that 10-20 billion is top line revenue. From a net profit perspective the margins will be thin once they scale up. There will be a lot of sunk costs and maintenance capex just to keep the network going. But hey, I think it will eventually be profitable.
I few yeas ago I wrote: "It's easy to be number one, when you're the only one." Competition is the great equalizer.
This is true. You did write that, and I remember you had hte copyright claim to it.

@@davidfalconer4260 I did. But I didn't copyright it. I was following in the footsteps of Dr. Jonas Salk who refused to patent his vaccine. He said cannot own the sunshine. And neither can I.! 😇
I did. But I gave it o the world. I mean who can own the sunshine. 😇
But 90% of EV charging is done at home, so why bother with a subscription at all? Seems like a dumb spend for the majority of EV drivers
True, it only makes sense if you spend a lot of time on the road, or can’t charge at home/work etc.
In Tasmania we have one, repeat ONE Tesla supercharger for the whole of the state of Tasmania. It's located in Devonport, obviously for when vehicles get on and off the ferry to the mainland. Still, an almost pointless location for the only Tesla charger in the state. We need 4 or 5 other locations - Launceston, Hobart, somewhere in the central highlands, east coast and the west coast.
It’s a shame that here in NZ, where the grid is 80% renewables, Tesla Superchargers are the same cost or higher than other networks. And that’s for Tesla owners, let alone add a subscription fee to that! The SCs are by no means ubiquitous here yet, so not “the best network” in this case. Add to that the imposition of Road User Charges (per km tax) and it is now more expensive to run an EV in NZ than an economical petrol car. Tesla would need to drop their SC price by 30% to even that out.
But every time you charge your EV, you are pushing in to that 20% non renewable part of the grid. Gas and coal is charging your EV.
@@JohnSmith-ux3tt Your maths are wrong. If the grid is 20% of the total, then an EV only uses 20% coal IF they get the power from the grid (and most don't) so your comment is a mathematically incorrect (or BS if you prefer).
@@JohnSmith-ux3tt What is this non-sense??? somehow "black" or "grey" electrons are finding their way into an EV battery rather than "blue" ones??? In your crooked dreams only!
It is actually the contrary: as EVs are generally charged at night, when power consumption is at its lowest, i.e. when expensive thermal power plants, especially gas turbines, are off!
Or you would need to get solar panels and charge from them, in which case the price drops rather dramatically.
@@JohnSmith-ux3tt evidently you did not get through even grade school mathematics.
37 cents v 56 on evgo... That's *without* the monthly contract here in N California.
Sam, it’d be very interesting to see a comparison of Level 3 Public EV Charging Station installation Costs. Apparently Superchargers can cost $50k AU each to install. I wonder a Tritium is better value despite its lower charging speeds and are their prices dropping or not?
Tesla has NEVER made a profit from the Supercharger netowrk.
How would you know?
Game over
For ICE
@@larryc1616 yes
@@CassianLore Dream on.
@@oldbloke204 thanks Old bloke
Tesla sells insurances and used car too.
Will this stay a price war for charging. That would be fantastic
Great news. Tesla can choose at a later date just to focus on level 3 charging instead of building EVs. Building EVs could be done on an OEM basis for say Apple or Amazon or Microsoft etc.
If any ev, from any category, from any ev automaker, costs 80% to 90% less to charge than the smallest sub compact gas car. Then, gas car automakers are in big big trouble.
Soooo...any pretense of these being money makers has just gone out the window. Tesla has to pay the same commercial rate for power that any store has to. At 105% of that rate, they were breaking even with a small margin. Dropping 25% off that means they operate at a loss.
Yeah, they have to drop the fees, because you’re not getting the charge speed they advertise, because the grid can’t handle it. You refuse to see any of the problems with e vehicle charging.
I'm hitting 255kW at every V3 Supercharger across the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia. Where are these "grid" problems for Superchargers?
@@Jeroenneman the USA
Hi Mr Viking, any thoughts on the Tesla Cybertruck recall?
Much ado about nothing!
@@jezza6575 Do you think that would be the reaction if 100% of a Toyota model had to be recalled due to an accelerator pedal issue?
@@jezza6575 More copium?
By there time EV adoption has gotten that high, the current gas stations will have robust charging network to compete with Tesla.
It's starting to happen, like it's happening already in Norway...but reliable chargers are important. And Tesla's excel at that.
....IF the Oil companies are prepared to invest Tens of Billions in infrastructure. Only a few will do so.
SO you need to take into account home chargers. Home owners that have a off street parking and their own level 2 charger, dont need DC fast chargers...No way I am paying a $10 / month sub, when I can charge every night at home.
You don't get it. DC fast chargers are REQUIRED when doing long distance trips, like the 7500km I did from Melbourne (AU) to Cairns and back.
Typical tesla scam ...now would you pay a monthly charge to a service station chain ? Tesla want to charge for everything it can and blackmail people in monthly subscriptions
Who cares? These subscriptions are only for non Tesla owners.
@@greghudson9717 lol Elon will figure out a way to make tesla owners pay for extra features he has spoken about it already ,he wants tesla owners to be totally under his control only get Tesla's serviced at tesla sites only get Tesla's repaired at tesla sites only get accident repairs at his sites...can you see a pattern developing here ?
Ain't no scam mate, it's business.
It depends what VALUE do you get from the subscription. $13 a month for access to the most reliable and cheapest network of chargers in the USA....sounds like a good buy to me. If its for a company car, doing business, then the fee is tax-deductible anyway and gives peace of mind.
*** Bro, someone send Sam some new shirts … it always feels like I’m watching the same fucking video lol
Cheaper in Australia because of all the renewables? Compare the price per Kilowatt?
Years ago, Tesla signed a few PPA's (Power Purchase Agreements) with several big solar and wind farms to supply green energy to every SuperCharger in Australia. At the time, power was 4c/kWh. It has now dropped to sub 2c/kWh and yet Tesla are charging 70c per kWh. I call this price gouging (even worse than Coles and Woolworths).
@@greghudson9717. Setting up a Supercharger site costs 10's of millions of dollars, there's a lot of costs to recover before making any profit at all
@@greghudson9717 I paid 85c today at a SC. Couldn’t believe how expensive it was.
@@IXXIBoss You are probably a non Tesla driver that hasn't subscribed. If you had, your price would be 70c
@@greghudson9717 Correct, and I'm aware it would be cheaper with a subscription. I was just seeing if it worked with my car out of interest, but was blown away at the cost. I wouldn't typically stop at a Tesla SC as the 400V architecture sucks a big one for 800V vehicles. Nice to know it will work if I get caught out at some stage though.
Misleading information again? Each manufacturer has to be added to the Tesla network. "Imagine"... non Tesla's just trying to use the Tesla network without having been added. Just rock up in your Kia Soul with a non existent adapter and expect it to work? In the USA for instance only Ford and Rivian have been added so far.
Keep up the good work Sam. This is good news for everybody who doesn't own a Tesla but of course the trolls will spin this into God only knows what
Until US regulators launch an antitrust lawsuit against Tesla Supercharger Network. It will be a separate independent company. Tesla if not careful will be facing antitrust sooner or later. It will benefit former Tesla service employees to start their own shops when all the right to repairs bills are coming.
While there are actual, real competing companies also supplying and running chargers, then Tesla can't be charged with Anti-Trust. Legally, its a sub-division of the company anyway and as far as I'm aware, in the USA, the land of Capitalism and the Free, what business is it of any Government? Ford / GM / Toyota...they are Free to start their own networks if they desired...they didn't so, tough luck on them. Tesla took a risk, made a massive investment and are now reaping the rewards. That's supposed to be the American Dream...right?
Energy for free??
Yes. From the solar panels on my roof. Buy some ASAP.
Free energy ye right 😭😭😭😭
All chargers should be drive through to allow for towing. Who’s going to convert to EV if you have to unhitch to charge?
People who don't tow?
@@applicationsbroad7283 read the question
Who is going to tow with an EV?
GM's new network collaboration is all pull through like at a gas station. And GM has the pickup that has the range for towing. (Fwiw, I own a Tesla sedan, so back in superchargers are just fine for me. But now that EVs that tow are a realistic thing...Out of Spec channel has some good videos on testing that on Colorado mountain roads...pull through is becoming a useful thing. Also for non Tesla vehicles, with charge port not on the driver's side back corner, charging at Superchargers.)
Superchargers in Australia aren't set up to well for this. But I have seen some of the other competitors have long bays for cars that tow.
Are you going to talk about the Cybertruck recall? Really bad news.
Realy bad bad news, Tesla going bankrupt? Or just fastening a bit of carpet above the accelerator pedal?

Agree Tesla is a failed company. Headed for bankruptcy within a year.
If Musk leaves, I might reconsider.........but Evie is just so convenient.
Ah, now Tesla starts price war with charging station business? Considering those 14% layoffs in Buffalo, this sounds like one last desperate attempt to keep the moat.
It's a Trojan horse to lure other EV makers to join them. Then rug pull to make customers switch to Tesla
More like a ploy for other car companies to not make a competing network. Imagine if BYD decided to do Superchargers too?
Wow, how terrible. It would be as if there were several petroleum companies to choose from for purchasing gasoline.
And actually with EVs, one doesn't need to worry about the quality or octane of the fuel.
Tesla is NOT slashing SuperCharger fees at all. They are reducing the SUBSCRIPTION FEE for non Tesla drivers. Tesla drivers get nothing as usual.
A bit grumpy today? Nothing for Tesla owners as usual? Other than the best electric vehicle, the best tech, the best software, the best performance for the price, the best charging network, and the only approximation of autonomy which is getting better faster than anybody else's worse approximation, with FSD just part of how the vehicle software and operating systems improve year over year so that your car is significantly better than it was 2 years ago or 4 years ago, all that I guess that's just nothing? 😁😁😁
@@douglaswatt1582 Blah blah blah. Not interested. I'm specifically talking about the ripoff pricing that Tesla is doing to us Aussies when charging. Most other places Tesla is the cheapest, but not here. We are being reamed big time - and is the main reason I avoid TSC's if at all possible.
Not really fair Tesla gets to take advantage of taxpayer subsidies.
Not really fair the gas and oil companies get ONE TRILLION dollars a year just from the US In subsidy for gas and oil price
The other charging stations installers get a larger subsidy than Tesla because they cost 3 time the amount.
It sure as heck is! Tesla takes that money and actually does some good with it instead of giving to a company that will just squander it and go out of business next year.
@1sheinz That also produces electricity, so Elon gets triple subsidized.
@@1sheinz That number just keeps growing every time I see it.

Now do the story where EVERY Cybertruck is being recalled. Oh Tesla Pumpers like you wont do that.
I presume you are referring to the problem with the accelerator pedal cover detaching. If so that problem has been fixed with one rivet fastener. So why do people like you jump at the first chance to criticize an EV ?
@@mikechristie6556 Hi Mike, thanks for your reply. So .. just a simple rivet fastener. So I guess that means the owners didnt have to drive their truck to a service center and then leave it there and make their own way back home without use of their vehicle. Oh wait ... And I guess because it was so simple, the job was fixed in an hour .... oh wait ..... So before you tell me about one rivet fastener ... let me tell YOU about the disruption this causes to people because they were given an inferior product.

It's a rip-off & its not helping Tesla's reputation, in my opinion.
Tesla's sales is coming to a halt in Europe. Where is the long awaited Model Y refresh? Tesla is no longer having the EV market for itself. Raw performance figures and frugality on consumption is no longer enough. A customer also need to feel that he/she is getting something new and compelling. It's not for nothing that other car companies have regular facelifts and new versions at regular intervals. And current Model Y simply has too many negatives and people know it's possible to do better, just look at Model 3 Highland or a number of the German car manufacturers.
