Charging Infrastructure

Does anyone know if Tesla (or anyone else) has given thought to possibility that Superchargers within the narrow band of totality for the upcoming August 21 eclipse might become overwhelmed with Tesla drivers needing to charge their vehicles on their way to see the eclipse? I'm planning to...

Just saw this at an IKEA in Miami. I was hoping to charge my X while there, but someone who definitely needed the spot more (disabled) was already parked there, which got me thinking... What if it had been the other way around? What if a disabled person had to park farther from the entrance...

With the proposed build out of new "Supercharger Stations" and with the typical Tesla owner hanging out for 30-60 minutes at a supercharger, what type of amenities would you like to see and how would you like to spend that 30-60 minutes(bearing in mind, on a long trip this could occur every 2-3...

fyi ChargePoint takes over GE charging stations

Today I spoke with the Mayor of Snoqualmie and asked him if he knew where the supercharger location in Snoqualmie, WA (25 miles east of Seattle) would be placed. I assumed it would likely be at the new Safeway that is going in or at the new hotel nearby, he said that it will be located within...

I rarely use Burbank to charge because it's a terrible place always with a line, but when I have a 450 mile trip back home in the morning, I will go there. I noticed that when I pulled up there was a cone in front of charger 1A. Basically, everyone, including me, was ignoring it, assuming a cone...

We are finishing off the garage and want to add an EVSE that would be useful to all EVers including TESLA owners. Although we are an all EV family (2016 30 KW leaf SV and a smart ED) we want to add a higher power EVSE available to any EV. This is mostly for future proofing but also because it...

If your travels take you through the Maumee (OH) supercharger on 3 Jul between 8pm and 11pm from the north or south you will need an alternate route as the bridge over the river will be closed for a fireworks display. Travelers using the Ohio Turnpike will not be affected. PM me if you would...

Does anyone know where the supercharger station will be in Gaithersburg Maryland and when it might open?

I think all would agree that hotels are ideal spots for level 2 charging. Most people sleep at least 6-8 hours at a hotel, which is the right amount of time to get a full or nearly full charge even at 40 amps. Currently, I find hotel charging very stressful. Usually there are only 1-2...

Just wondering what some people here are thinking about the Hyundai Ioniq DC charging speed. The Hyundai Ioniq EV variant has a 28kwh battery and apparently supports DC fast charging up to 100kw. Now, obviously there is only a few 100kw chargers but Bjoern has actually tested the Ioniq charging...

I privately traded my Nissan OEM J1772 mobile EVSE for one upgraded to 240 volts from a person who presumably wants the original when he turns in his lease. Seemed like a great deal at the time ... but it turns out that the latch mechanism that locks the handle into place is broken off at the...

The ability to filter Plugshare listings to find hotels with charging stations by using Tesla.plugshare.com was very useful for trip planning. I looked for it today and it seems to be gone. I last used it about a month ago. Does anyone know what happened? Is there a new way to search for hotels...

Tesla CEO Elon Musk says “almost all” Supercharger stations will eventually disconnect from the grid. Musk made the comment on Twitter in response to a tweet pointing out that Superchargers utilize energy from traditional fossil fuels like coal. Musk notes that all Superchargers...

Working on a new destination charger setup in the mountains of Utah for a resort (more info on location to come soon)... It's a snow heavy location. Can anyone help me find out where one would acquire the "up high" spring loaded cable guides like they use at Northstar resort in Tahoe? They...

Moderators, please move to appropriate section if this post is not suitable for this category. This post includes commercial communication, asking for help for a fee. My company, Ayudante (yes, it's funny name) created and is operating a charging station finder app for Japan called EVsmart...

Elon distinguished two types of supercharging in the future and created a new class of superchargers "city superchargers" for apartment dwellers vs. long distance traveling that will be slower to charge. I'm curious what this will be exactly. Any speculations?

Hey everyone. Our network allows our users to connect with others that visit places and neighborhoods they love. We are about to add Tesla Superchargers to our platform which will create geo mico-communities at each location. You will be able to join a Supercharger and connect with other Tesla...

There is now a 8 stall DCFC site online in Mountain View, California. The site uses the ChargePoint Express 200 DCFC units that can output 125 amps to either its CHAdeMO connector or its CCS connector. This is the largest industry standard (ie. non-SuperCharger) fast charge site I know of in...

AllCharge Technology from Continental Makes EVs Fit for Any Type of Charging Station What do you make of this? Nothing really about how it actually works. At first I thought maybe it would spin the wheels like a dynamometer to regeneratively charge a car...

Does anyone have experience with location charging from Victoria to Tofino? There seems to be a variety of J1772 installs in Port Alberini and Nanaimo but the comments on Plug Share are depressing. I have only ever had to use superchargers or home charging so I have no experience using these...

So, a bunch of SuperCharger sites have brand-new pedestals, complete with charging-cable and new handles. Mostly, these have been in California -- but I see one expansion site in Nevada. Has anyone been able to try charging two cars (in similar SoC) in slots that are both a)...

Any idea when charging speed and range will improve? Specifically, I should be able to drive 2.5 hours without a charging stop and charge for just 20 minutes and then travel another 2.5 hours. I am probably looking for high speed charging. I cant convince myself to buy an EV without this.

Beste Tesla-rijders, 8 september 2017 gaat één van de mooiste dagen worden die ik zal beleven. Ik mag dan namelijk trouwen met mijn geweldige vriendin. Je raad het al... wij zouden graag een Tesla Model S als trouwauto wensen. En het zou natuurlijk helemaal stoer zijn mocht de Model S wit zijn...

:)OK, now that I have your attention, I seriously do questions their value. My limited experience with destination chargers is that they are too slow and too restricted to be part of my trip planning. I would drive my ICE rather than counting on destination charging and when we get rid of our...

I have (2) Model 3 on order. Or I could just get a Model X for the GF I'm wondering what your delivery experience was like. Here's how delivery went on an unnamed Luxury auto brand $100K car + with Some German heritage. I'm looking for opinions of what is fair. I ordered a car, it was...

Charger didn't work last night. I turned the breaker off today and took the faceplate off. Meltdown!

Sorry if covered elsewhere but when going away and not using my S should I leave it plugged in to charger at home or not?

the tesla.com website shows a supercharger may be coming to a medical office building near Portola and Alessandro, but I am guessing the supercharger will most likely be at the Westfield mall, since other superchargers are at similar malls........also it looks like North Dakota will be getting...

Hello everybody. My town has installed 2 Tesla charging stations on the side of a street in town. Obviously, the signage at these two spots should indicate they are for charging only, not parking of ICE vehicles or even EV's when they are not being charged. So my question is - what's the best...

It's not up on Tesla's site yet but it showed up on plugshare as active Sonny's BBQ | Florida City, FL | Electric Car Charging Station | PlugShare Has anyone here tried it?

(I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this - I didn't see any other forums that would be a better match. Mods - feel free to move it if it belongs elsewhere) I've been researching options for installing the Tesla Wall Connector in my garage. I realize that a lot of people opt to install a...

I've been told that at times Tesla has at times supplied J1772 equipment along with its own dedicated chargers - not sure if this means wall chargers or superchargers. Can't find a reference to Tesla doing that on this forum, despite much searching. Does anybody know if Tesla has done this? .

This site has any number of threads about congestion at California superchargers. Most of my long-distance travel has been here in the Midwest... and of course I see nothing like that crowding around here. It set me to wondering: which SC station is the *least* used? Now that Tesla puts out...

So... this really annoyed me... My sister bought a new 2017 volt (AWESOME)... so as a thank you I hooked her up with a NEMA 14-50 outlet and bought a L2 16A connector for ~$300 to upgrade from the POS L1 connector that comes with the car. Then I see this online today. It's a L2 board!! Rated...

I'm collecting information on global charging legislations, having hard time understanding different policy making systems in each country/city etc. Could anybody please help me compile a list for these two categories? 1. Charging legislation for condo HOAs or apartment dwellers ex. California...

does anyone know what the latest on Teslas V2G capability is? I came across this from October 2016.... Tesla's Ben Hill Says Vehicle-to-Grid Energy is "Coming Very, Very Soon" | Inverse

Here is a cautionary tale. We installed a new 50 amp breaker pair (by "we," I mean I hired a licensed electrician) for Tesla charging (this is in Florida). The new circuit seemed fine and had been used to charge Teslas on a number of occasions. However, in this incident, after charging my MS at...

Hi, I plan to move to a smaller new condo and plan to setup a charging there. Basically the condo will have one flat parking and probably 8 mechanical parkings, with one car temporary space for charging (this space wasn't designed as a charging spot but I'm trying to convince the developer to)...

Made a video of my corded Tesla HPWC install.

So given Elon's announcement yesterday that the semi will indeed be long haul, I have a theory to put out there. I don't believe the next versions (350kW or above) of the supercharger will be meant for the cars (S,X, 3) but instead for the semis. Given the peak performance levels of the S and...

For those who travel up and down 95 through Virginia and North Carolina, is there concern that there does not appear to be plans for an additional Supercharger location between Richmond and Lumberton? Looks like they are planning to add more stalls in those two areas, but will Rocky Mount end...

I was wondering if anyone else's HPWC has crashed? Mine has three times now, twice in the last two weeks. It resets by throwing the breaker and turning it back on, but I'm wondering if this is normal or if something is wrong with my HPWC. The first time was late last summer or early fall...

So, periodically the Tesla Nav shows a site as having 'Reduced Service'. Lets say, for example, a site in the country shows reduced service, say Gustine, California (between LA and San Francisco).
