Charging Infrastructure

Hello I have been working for some time to develop 2-phase and 3-phase chargers that combine energy from them into one "superphase" with fixed voltage (250V, independent on load) to get max from J1772 and US Tesla at home. Actual working solution monitors load and reduces speed when any phase is...

Currently on loan to a forum member, but used just a couple times (never by me!). I'll have it back in my possession by the end of the month. If your interested let me know. Willing to ship, and I have original box. Last I checked it looks brand spanking new! $350

Stopped at the Dickson SC on my way out of Nashville today. This one's in the Holiday Inn Express parking lot immediately off of I40.

I saw this tweet the other day indicating a second Supercharger station was under construction. Tweets and maps aside, I can’t find it “in real life.” Anyone know where this actually is? Supercharge Feed on Twitter

I just found this: 特斯拉宣布支持新国标充电接口：老车免费升级_IT与交通_cnBeta.COM It's in Chinese, but from what I could find it seems that Tesla is willing to adopt CCS/CHAdeMO/GB in addition to SuperCharging on their vehicles? Is there anybody here who can read Chinese and translate it? Google Translate:

Can anybody share some knowledge of first and second generation Model S/X onboard charger, specifically European 3-phase capable ones. All recent Tesla's support (Model 3 not confirmed) 3x16A charging. And definitely 1x16A charging. But can they utilize 1x32A supply at full power? We know that...

Interesting article from Fortune: Tesla's Elon Musk Reveals the Next Big Automotive Trend: Gasoline At a press conference held at the automaker’s headquarters, Musk announced that Tesla will begin mass production of a gas-powered vehicle in 2022. He plans to call this vehicle the Model T. ...

In the past 2 months, Tesla opened 4 new superchargers and has 4 more under construction in Michigan (5 if you count the one in Toledo at Michigan‘s border). I wonder if Tesla is trying to make a political statement against the state of Michigan by focusing on building the infrastructure here...

Ok I know this is too generic of a question, but any resources / advice are appreciated. I live in a condo, and informally asked the HOA about possibly installing a level 2 charger in a guest spot by the pool, so other condo owners could use it as well. This would require probably running a...

This is a question to all those record keepers out there. How many miles of charge do you typically get in a half hour or one hour supercharging session? I asking about real world miles added that you’ve seen.

I just ordered my MS and am expecting delivery in mid-November. I live in a high rise condominium which recently allowed the residents to set up their own charging stations in their private parking spot. My parking spot is about 210 feet away from the main power source. I went on Tesla's...

I've got a vacation property that has a HPWC installed and I rent it out on sites like AirBNB, VRBO, etc. Can I get the property added to Tesla's map of destination chargers, or is it only for certain partners? Does anyone have a vacation rental on the destination charger program?

So the pilot signal in my HPWC appears to be dead. The unit has power. The green light is on. I can still charge my car with my UMC (really glad I installed a 14-50 too). I plug the HPWC into my car but nothing happens... I've pushed the reset button and I've cycled power several times...

Looking to create a listing of Paso Robles wineries with Tesla destination charging. I am aware of: Niner Rotta Please post of there are others.

A little surprise on my recent trip (2,760 miles, ended yesterday): Supercharger post vs (probably) truck -- Truck wins. I thought the "Wet Floor" pylon was a nice touch. Didn't seem to have any effect on the other units.

TD;LR - discovered a well built L2 charger being sold on ebay and seller provided addl details. Son is purchasing. Often Tesla owners have other electric cars (J1772) vs a Tesla 14-50 direct plug. Obviously do your own DD (Due Diligence) The SPX Voltec charger died that I purchased about the...

I was told in Fremont that charging, at least in Fremont, there is a priority in charging. New arrivals will be slower charging than vehicles there before you. It seems to be working when the Superchargers are all occupied.

In doing google searches randomly about charging standards, I come to find out this old post on this site: What is a J3068 charger? That kind of piqued my curiosity and doing a little more digging and looking and some presentations, I found some info about the proposed standard...

Our church is considering installing a couple of Level 2 (240V) J-1772 EVSEs and making them available to the public. Due to the potential for abuse of "free" charging, however, the consensus unfortunately seems to be that we need to accept payment for charging. The challenge here is that...

hi all! I want to say thank you to all the people who have taken part in the survey I made. I have only received half the number I wanted to achieve but I understand EV and PHEV owners are continuously bombarded with new surveys and similars. As I promised I have compiled all the data, I will...

The CHAdeMO protocol has been upgraded to 150kW just like CCS: CHAdeMO Announces High Power (150KW) Version of the Protocol This will bump the current from 125A to 350A while remaining at 500V. Now, I don't have a written source for this rumour, but when talking to somebody inside the CHAdeMO...

So I live in a ~25 unit condo. The building manager took me to the electrical room and showed me. I took some quick pictures, which came out blurry. but here it is. One of meters is to my unit. On the other side of this wall that the entire panel is on, as my luck would have it, is my...

Has anyone found good place in the country where you can actually try the top end of your car? I keep seeing videos of people getting on the freeway and snapping the neck back with all the speed, but you have to slow before too many seconds as it will be illegal to get caught speeding. But if...

I was having lunch with clients yesterday at The Capital Grille in Cherry Hill, NJ. We were talking about Tesla. The waiter said they had a meeting that morning and it was mentioned that all locations are getting Tesla chargers. He said "Supercharger " but he may have been using that term...

We made the Map! Looks like a whole lot of new Superchargers coming to Target Stores. But Simi Valley goes Supercharger. They also share the same color scheme..... Target and Tesla...somebody steps up and jumps on the bandwagon. Simi Valley Supercharger 2018 Stay tuned.

So looking at the Plugshare map most of Florida and Georgia show operational for Tesla and non Tesla charging facilities. Is this the case? Curious as the news here in Canada says that 8 million people are without power. Just curious how the charging infrastructure fairs in disasters like this...

Hello all, was helping my mother plan a trip with her MS and came along the planned supercharger map on Tesla, which I haven't visited since Tesla announced massive expansion of the network. When to my surprise I found a little grey "planned" supercharger in my town of Chico here in northern...

Looks like Nacogdoches Supercharger, in East Texas is approaching completion. Construction seems to have been under-way since the beginning of the month. 2615 N Stallings Dr Nacogdoches, TX 75964 @BlueShift Hopefully, it will be complete for my transit through East Texas later this month.

Is there a site showing which super chargers are operational during disasters?

I read before the storm that while many gas stations in Florida was out of gas all supercharger except for Marathon and Myers was online, how is it now then the storm have reach Florida? My thought go to them in Florida.

I see that there are now 8 Superchargers at The Pru. As soon as someone uses them can you post your experience. Do you have to pay for parking in able to access the SC's? Thanks

Tesla announced today a new Supercharger station design that aims to better accommodate owners in urban areas. According to a Tesla blog post: Superchargers in urban areas have a new post design that occupies less space and is easier to install, making them ideal for dense, highly...

I've been wondering, how will Tesla (and other manufacturers) transition to higher voltage DC fast charging? I can only see two options: 1. Change the battery, motor and other car systems to 800V or higher. Cons: You lose the ability to DC fast charge at all existing supercharger and Chademo...

Have you even tried charging off your generator? I was running mine earlier this week to test it out and just for kicks tried to charge my car off the 5/20 plug and when I plugged in my UMC the green light flashed a few times then went out. I was not able to charge at all. I have a high...

Is it possible to suggest a supercharger location to Tesla HQ? I'm looking at the map and while it looks like East-West routes are getting connected some North-South routes are a little less formed. Specifically, I'm talking about a potential location in Kansas City, Kansas. It's new retail...

It's been 2.5 years since we did this the first time. I'm sure I don't have to tell most of you how good the supercharge.info site is. But, what many people don't realize is that the site is not run by a company, or a group of people. No, it is only ur fellow Tesla lover and TMS member...

For someone who has installed the Tesla HPWC using the top entry bracket - where is the bracket mounted relative to the wall stud? Should it be centered over the stud? I’m running the conduit for my circuit and I need to know where it should come down the wall. Thanks for any info!

Anyone know the condition of the Houston charging stations? Specifically the Spring, TX supercharger or the i10 Channelview ones? I don't want to make my weekend roadtrip (non refundable cruise ticket that insists it is going on schedule) but with DFW area running out of gas, the Tesla might...

CEO Elon Musk acknowledged in a tweet that as part of continued effort to expand charging locations, the company hopes to bridge capability for routes between the U.S., Canada and Central America next year. Tesla has been hyping its plan to increase the number of superchargers in the...

Don't boil the kettle while charging your electric car because it will blow the fuse, National Grid warns Looks like another attempt to confuse the public and instill fears that home charging requires expensive service upgrades. This sort of BS is everywhere. Of course, there are many...

So there are two Tesla destination chargers near my house that are dead. There is no power to them. Who do I report the problem to? Is it Tesla who owns and maintain them or the property owner?

Well known 'river site' along I-10 hurricane route. Next-door hotel is on stilts.

Have any of you had your Tesla run out of charge before it makes it to a charging station? How often does this happen? What do you do when it happens? I've heard there is a charge from Tesla's road side assistance to be towed to the nearest charging station. Is this a common occurrence?

If this Magic Transformation to electric vehicles is ever going to happen We must put up better signs. I just took a long trip in to the mountains of North Carolina where no super chargers live, so I did some destination Charging. all chargers were Iced,Even by People working at the location...

There're posts around that during the unusual rush to see the solar eclipse there was long wait times at SuperChargers.. and with the TM3 coming this may happen more often. So I wonder if this might be a partial solution? What if Tesla made semi-truck based Super-Chargers?... • each completely...

Given the highly unusual and heavy traffic patterns on highways near the path of totality on August 20-21, I'm curious about what the experiences were like for folks driving Teslas to/from the eclipse path and charging at SC stations along the way. Where and when did you stop to charge? How...

Moderator note: The first 48 posts in this thread are a combination from two different threads regarding a Supercharger installation in Corona, CA. Does this look like the beginning of a SC?
