Does anyone have an example of a Supercharger near a residential area? The Southlake, Texas Supercharger will be across a four-lane street from a neighborhood Planning & Zoning Commission asked if this would be the first? Advice here or in the other thread would be great! Supercharger -...

FYI (although this is a picture of Waco/Belmead) The Corsicana supercharger is scheduled to get its facelift next month (September) ... upgraded units and perhaps expanded slots. This information from the contract electrical crew who is working on Waco currently. What does this mean? You...

I'm getting my second Tesla, so need to get a real charging solution vs using the mobile connector and unplugging it every time as I'm in a public garage. Most of the new chargers are $500 or so including the Tesla one. I found this on Ebay... for only $169. There is no inverter box or...

Tesla plans to offer a “Home Charging Installation Program,” a $1,000 option available at purchase that eliminates the need for customers to source their own external electrician. The goal is to simplify the process of purchasing an electric vehicle. The service is currently only available to...

We are simply trying to buy two hi powered wall connectors and install them at our business. Possibly a powerall or two as well! Tesla is no longer responding to email at the address they provided, and No matter what department I talk to over the phone, they seem surprised to hear that I want to...

Hi all, I've installed the Tesla wall connector and it powers up properly but only connecting to a car will confirm it will provide its max rated amperage. Anyone in the Thousand Oaks, CA area interested in some free juice to help a Model 3 reservation holder? Beer/wine is included of course...

I have a few hotels that I'd like to contact and ask to consider putting in destination chargers. However, I'm not quite sure how to do that without it being completely random or the hotel staff just ignoring it. It looks like Tesla's website actually looks for a contact name, so I don't know...

I was browsing the supercharger network map today and am now scratching my head trying to figure out this supercharger plan. Location: Jeju Longest driving distance between two points possible on the island: ~60mi (distance between the two major cities = ~30mi) Population: 621k Country: South...

Is it possible to drive from Ardmore, OK to Texarkana, TX by way of interstate 35 and Texas highway 82 without having any range problems? We would like to skip Dallas SC (going east) and Sulphur Springs TX SC to save time and traffic. Has anyone done it? We have 90D MX and have never traveled...

I was looking through the Bolt Forum (yes, I showered afterward :p) and saw that Nasa Ames recently opened up an 8 stall DCFC area in a parking lot: Kind of an interesting layout, with each DCFC having two spaces, sitting opposite each other. I'm assuming that each of the 8 only supports use...

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Wednesday that “Major increases in the Supercharger and Tesla urban charger network” will happen in the next several months. In April, Tesla published a blog post that said it intends to double Supercharger count to 10,000 and Destination Charging connectors to...

I'm trying to install couple of Level 2 public charging stations in Cody Wyoming. I've had 3 sites not work out so far this summer. Could use a local to help me out if finding a good spot. I have funding now and need to get it installed this month. It would be installed for free and they...

When Tesla launched the latest version of the Supercharger Map with the gray markers for all the planned locations it looked like they had done a great job of filling all the Interstate gaps. Having experienced travel with my Roadster from before the supercharger was even a dream this map is...

An estimated 200 million people living within a day's drive of the path. If there was ever a reason to road trip, this is it. I plan to drive from Chicago to Columbia, Missouri. The supercharger there is in the path of totality. I hope 1000 other owners don't have the same idea.

I took a road trip from LA to Vegas, and experienced 40 kW max at both Redondo and Primm superchargers. I was not sharing a stall pair, and charging in the 10-40% range where my car normally gets 100-110 kW (which my car got just fine the next day). After my trip, I called customer service and...

1- cramped location- roadway in front of chargers is much less than a car length- should reprint lines for angle parking. Told tesla 2-charging seemed slow - told tesla to check. 3-chargers in front of car wash south end of parking 4- exit at west (back) of Sheetz to return to route 80 the...

Pick up to 3 most frequent occurrences for you:

Today is the first day I noticed that the total of active, under construction, and permitted sites exceeds 1000. We crossed 500 in October 2015, I believe, 22 months ago. Any guesses on the location and date that becomes #1000?

I've noticed that many people describing their thought processes surrounding why they are choosing the standard or long range battery mention how many times per week they feel it's necessary to charge their Teslas. I've had some non-Tesla owners say to me things like, "you have to charge every...

In preparation for our first cross-country Model S camping trip, I was about to build a homemade NEMA 14-50 to TT-30 adapter, when I found the 'NEMA 14-50R to TT-30P' product that's apparently Tesla-compatible. I found it at EVSEadapters.com and was surprised to also find it at homedepot.com...

I live in a condo where my car is on a lift. something like the one pictured below. Do you guys see any issues that may arise while trying to install a charger?? I'm hoping I just need a long cable for the lift to travel up and down with enough slack. my car is currently designated on the...

Hi, I am trying to buy some reasonably priced Scame 'Tipo A' female EV plugs and have only found a ridiculously expensive source in the UK (€50+, Scame's offical UK agent) or a not quite so ridiculous €31 (when I order 5 together) from e-Staion.it. Considering the equivalent in Shuko/UK 3...

As a Tesla owner and "ideas guy", I can't help but think a shuttle service at some supercharger locations would be a worthwhile investment. I use the charger in Oxnard, CA all the time and while it's close enough to the mall, sometimes I want to go to the restaurant(s) and shops on the other...

here are pix of a ChargePoint 30 amp model that died and has been salvaged with an open EVSE kit. I had two of these chargers, and they both died after 2 years. No longer supported by ChargePoint, I used the case, relay and j1772 cord to rebuild it. Was pretty easy to pull all the boards and...

We recently learned about an increase in the number of Supercharger ports from about 6,100 in July of 2107 to 18,000 by the end of 2018. While that is just a goal, what does it mean in terms of: Number of new Supercharger stations? Number of stations under construction at any one time? Number...

For those of you who may not know - if you have a large RV (big rig) and you DON'T have a commercial drivers license, the only convenient way to refuel is at a Flying J truck stop. Everywhere else requires hoops or heroics. So I was just looking around for one of those, and it just dawned on me...

So I was in Manteca to Supercharge on the way back home yesterday and upon arrival there was one car charging in stall 4A. This was about a quarter after 2 so temperature outside was around 100F. I parked in stall 1A and handle was barely warm to the touch. I proceed to plug in and hop back...

I suggested in a Jul 2 2017 post that a logical place for the new Toledo (OH) Supercharger would be at the Meijer location on Alexis Road (Meijer currently hosts the Maumee Supercharger as well as maybe a dozen in the Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio area). Today I found a...

I saw a post on Facebook that charging with a UMC in Canada has been limited to 32A... can anyone confirm or deny this?

Hey guys. I am a licensed electrician. I have installed many Tesla outlets in garages and many EVSE's outdoors. But never a Tesla outlet outdoors. Normally when installing an EVSE outdoors if the customer chooses one with a plug factory installed I just install a metal RV outlet enclosure...

Now that the EV bandwagon appears to be gaining momentum in the UK and after I paid a lot of money for my S with free supercharging I do not really want to have to wait to charge in the future while a Mini or Leaf uses a Tesla charger. Not sure where this is heading as the charging conundrum...

In some U.S. cities a block is 660 feet or 1/8 of a mile. This is the equivalent of 0.2 km. So think in these terms as you answer the question (your city/town may vary). When I say 'convenient', I mean that you would consider a stay at that hotel and travel via your Tesla to get there. For some...

I suppose there are a lot of restrictions on disclosing what's in Superchargers. What do they use? Triacs, SCRs, Thyratrons? I expect no one would have a diagram..even block? No, I don't want to build one. I just want to know how they handle all that power. Of course start with a...

In the first 7 months of my Tesla ownership I had never gotten unplug at public charging station. But recently I was unplugged twice and one time it's by a plug-in hybrid. In both cases my car wasn't even charged for an hour when it happened. As more PHEV and EV hit the roads especially with M3...

Give the peninsula (bay area) is ground zero for Teslas and where most of the initial Model 3 will be driven, it would seem work on scaling supercharger availability here would start soon. Mountain View and San Mateo are some of the most crowded sites, so even a few thousand Model 3's in the...

I saw this post, where one of the Tesla owners had extremely bad luck at two Superchargers. Since I've been studying this issue for the last 6 months, I have a rough estimate of the probabilities that a SuperCharger site experiences problems on any given day. I have been daily checking/logging...

I am taking a 9 day cruise and wanted to know if anyone has used this parking garage at the port - all I need is a 110 volt outlet - any ideas? At $20 per day - they should wash, wax and rotate the tires while I am gone. Parking/Transportation/Directions

Tesla Roadside Assistance cannot help. Where to turn. Looking for charging along 80 transiting from Chicago to NYC. Falls Creek construction completely finished, but not online. Any other places west of Falls Creek to charge? even an overnight charge with enough range to get to the Bloomsbury...

As I patiently wait for my Model 3 invite to config so I can upgrade from my original 2011 Nissan Leaf, the Blink charger that came with the car (aka the Spawn of Satan... charger NOT the car) seems to have developed another issue besides just deciding that it doesn't want to work sometimes. I...

Porsche installs first ultra-fast 350 kW EV charging station

World’s cutest solar farm in China is shaped like a panda

If you are business owner who has SCE power, be aware that SCE might have started a TOU plan for your business that can be punitive to those who offer free EV charging. If I allow an EV to charge after noon to 6pm, at a 6.6kW rate, and they draw 10 kWh a day, 20 days a month, and it's .17c a...

So, I'm messing with the Nav -- and I see the SuperCharger network chiefly populated with 'happy' red supercharger pins, except for one 'circle bar' icon on the Dayton, OH location. Clicking on it, reveals the legend 1) 'Reduced service'. For fun, I set the car Nav to navigate to it. However...

Current state of construction as of July 5, 2017

I thought the TMC community would appreciate a cool analysis of the Tesla supercharger network. The link is: Qlik Demos. I like how you can see the density of the network, and how you can see how its grown over time. The analysis is updated daily, so you can can see a few chargers which were...

There are quite a few home chargers out there, but there is one particular design which I am fond of - the Andersen A1 Home Charge Point (Premium Home Charge Points For Your Electric Car | Andersen). It fit's the premium Tesla looks and does a decent charge if you want to charge your car at home...

Anybody been to the Cabazon California supercharger lately, I hear there are now 16 chargers.......anybody ?!?!?! Saw them upgrading this site two weeks ago........hmmmmm..........just wondering.....

Hi, I'm a student researching Tesla as a subject for the Extended Essay and to conduct some primary research, I'd extremely appreciate it if you could answer my survey. It won't take long and will go a long way for me to be successful in my Essay. Here is the link: Quick Survey about Tesla...

Any ideas what this might be - spotted at an under-construction supercharger site in Tordesillas, Spain? Goncalo Morais on Twitter (apologies for the poorly formatted images - this guy on twitter screenshotted them from elsewhere, I'm trying to find the original source) First thought is the...
