    DCFC - Orlando, FL - W Robinson St

    Yes, Tesla is providing EVGo with Tesla connectors. However, I was informed by Tesla that while they will provide Tesla connectors to the nation’s largest public fast-charging network, it is unlikely that they would do that for a single standalone installation. I find it puzzling that Tesla...

    Specialty EV License Plate

    John, As that sage philosopher, Dirty Harry, once said: "A man's got to know his limitations." Depending on the level of difficulty of a task, you have to decide whether to DIY it or hire a professional. When I needed to install an 80 amp Tesla Wall Connector, I hired a qualified electrician...

    I genuinely appreciate the suggestions posted here and encourage everyone to continue to post your thoughts.

    Specialty EV License Plate

    This endeavor requires a mature and respected organization with legislative clout. First, you need to persuade a legislator to sponsor a bill authorizing a specialty tag. Then you need the Florida legislature to approve it and the governor to sign it into law. Starting on the effective date...

    Supercharger - Jacksonville, FL - Philips Highway

    Thanks for the follow-up. I assume that JEA means that the electrical contractor installed the wrong meter cabinet. The contractor installs the cabinet and JEA furnishes and inserts the meter into it. Larry

    Question for all Florida Tesla owners using Tesla wall charger & FPL at home

    From the posting that you quoted, he turned on 10 kW of heat while charging. "I use a wall mounted Tesla charger which can pull 12 KW when the battery is well down on charge.

    Supercharger - Naples, FL - Tarpon Bay Boulevard

    Thanks for your follow-up on this permit application. Yes, it looks like all that Tesla's contractor has to do is pay the County $690. 38 to get the permit issued. https://cvportal.colliercountyfl.gov/CityViewWeb/Permit/GetFile/11204927 Larry

    Here's another unconventional layout. I would have located the bollards with the signs back a little in green space beyond the curbing to minimize damage to Teslas backing up. I sure hope that they install parking stops. Larry

    Supercharger - Rockledge, FL

    Thanks for the photos, but there appears to be a bit more utility work needed. As of yesterday, there was no utility transformer or meter. The existing transformer on the right denotes the location of the existing underground high voltage cable. The utility markers near the Supercharger...

    Supercharger - Rockledge, FL

    Although the original permit application / plan review was for 8 Version 3 Supercharger cabinets, Tesla informs me that there will be 12 Supercharger cabinets consistent with the fact that three have been delivered as shown in the photo above.

    Tesla Wall Connector - installation approach

    I agree with the other posters about not wiring a Wall Connector to an outlet. However, when you were talking to the electricians it's possible you may have misinterpreted what they were saying. Approach 1 is the normal way to wire a Wall Connector. Approach 2 is the normal way to wire a...

    Supercharger - Land O’ Lakes, FL (Formerly Wesley Chapel)

    Moderator Note: Initially, Tesla had a Wesley Chapel "Coming Soon" Supercharger listed on their Find Us page.
