Charging Infrastructure

Hi , Is there like a template in word format that I could download and print out to place on my dashboard when I'm charging at a public place with my details so people can contact me? So when somebody urgently needs to charge they can call me so I can move my car. I can just print a small...

So if your Tesla is charging at a Chicago school, it looks like you won't be bothered by the ICE patrol. Lets hope ICE cars stay away too from the charging spots! LOL! "Chicago public schools say they will keep ICE agents out!"

Take a look at this photo. Nice to see that police forces are working diligently to extricate non EV cars from charging spots

On February 21st , Youxia travel tourism and Baiyue tourism group sincerely invite Tesla owner of southern China group to hold their annual meeting in the republic of Palau, this is the largest party of Tesla car owners in the world . After 30 days of preparation, we have received nearly 4...

I seem to spend a lot of money on drinks and snacks at my local gas station. I often wonder if it would be viable for these stations to offer a few car spaces for EV charging. I bet you the patrons charging up their EVs are likely to also spend money in the store while waiting.

I read an article that the official 10-30 adapter was recalled early Dec 2016 and that a replacement would be sent to affected Tesla owners. If true, will the 10-30 recall replacement adapter ever be available for purchase. I believe the Tesla adapter informed the car that it should only draw...

I have 2 Teslas on order and I have one Nema 14-50 outlet. Is this a bad idea? For the most part we plan to charge one Tesla at night, and the other during the day. Any downside to this other than the obvious that we may have a situation where we need to charge both at the same time?

This site: Tesla Supercharger Realtime Availability Map - EV-Prices - Tesla Price History & Modeler Has a real time map of all Superchargers with stall availability. Very interesting to see where the hot spots are. I won't leave you in suspense, the SCs around San Francisco, Los Angles, Orange...

Tesla is gearing up for its launch tommorow by installing superchargers in multiple locations in Dubai and Abu Dhabi

I'm a M3 reservation holder. I've driven but don't own a Model S. I was thinking about the problem of charger hogs, both at destination and superchargers. (where someone plugs in and wanders off longer than the car needs to charge up) The current solution is to simply fine the people who do...

Hey all, I'm looking at the Corded Mobile Connector as a semi-stationary charging solution while I keep my UMC in the car for the odd "emergency" use. I have some special circumstances that require me to use a lot of RV-30 amp connections for which I created my own adapter that uses the NEMA...

Did V8.0(17.5.28) software release change the charging rate? I have the High Amperage Charger Upgrade.. I noticed an improved MPH charging rate.. I at home I have a 100Amp circuit with the 72 Amp Charger.. Before the upgrade I was charging at a rate of 35 MPH - I remembered calculating that...

So, I hear these stories about a) "charger didn't work, and I moved to another charger, which did"; and b) "charging stall is close to busy traffic -- so pulled out slowly to switch chargers". I know that plugshare and these forums mention occasional ad hoc outages, but dammit, there has to be...

During January, I made daily observations using the dashboard Nav showing the U.S. contiguous states. These sites went down for the first time, during the month: Moosic, PA Gila Bend, AZ Birmingham, AL Milford, CT SB Supposedly, Tesla will not report any outages if they are beyond a 24 hour...

I want to install a charging station at my office. I am considering allowing others to use it as well? I.e. employees and clients and maybe anyone Does anyone have any advice for this? Has anyone installed something more universal than just a Tesla charging station? Is there a difference...

I'm awaiting my Model 3, and thought my charging situation was all set. (townhouse, 1 car garage, 200A service...I was just going to put in a 50A breaker to charge my Model 3 at 40A load....) But now the wife wants to move to a house with a yard. We've picked the house, which was built in...

so I stop off at Oxnard because I need a charge to continue from LA to Santa Barbara and I see this... every car empty. How many are actually traveling, and how many are just out for a Sunday shop at the mall??? I guess I've read about this plenty, but my first such experience. I'm sure some...

Hello all: I'm a few minutes away from leaving for my longest Japanese road trip yet. Follow along at: Tesla in Japan

I reserved a Model 3, and like many, I live in a big city and don't rent or own a garage or parking space that could be outfitted with a charger. We park our current ICE-car in the street. The purpose of superchargers is to make long-distance travel comfortable. But I think, the components...

So... I stopped by the new Microtel in Monahans, TX. They installed a pair of 80A destination chargers. Since I'm a Wyndham member they were kind enough to let me charge without getting a room. AWESOME I plug in but the car won't pull >12A.... I'm probably the 1st or 2nd person to ever use...

I'm planning a trip to Bellevue WA this weekend and was wondering if I had to worry about waiting in line or slow charging at the Centralia SC.

I had trouble using my J1772 adapter at a Chargepoint station over the weekend .The adapter would not click into the J1772 plug and so charging would not start. There were 4 different stations at this one garage and I tried 2 of them. I have previously had a problem with an EATON charger in...

Not at a charger, but in on some public street parking someone threatened to rub dog poop all over my car if I parked there again (seems worse for them, carwashes are automatic). I can only assume since their driveway was full that they were spilling out into the street to park.

I'm sure it's already been suggested, but what I would find very useful when turning up at a supercharger centre is to see how complete a station is to finishing a charge. When you pull into a petrol station, you don't mind waiting as you know it won't be long. But at a supercharger centre, you...

Can I remove a 15-50 and replace with an HPWC? Of course, switches would need to be set for appropriate circuit capacity and charge at 40A. I read the HPWC manual and said must be connected with non flammable conduit. Is a face plate with a short conduit stub into the back of the WC...

I've read about high speed charging supposedly coming. OUTSTANDING ! But, does anyone have any idea if it will be available for Tesla's made in 2016 or 2015?

So we're debating wether or not if we should replace our current wall charger with a Tesla Wall Connector, but if we do I would love it if I could move it away from the house and closer to the parking space itself. But to do so I would need to put something in place that the Wall Connector could...

Anyone have any idea where the Kitsap Peninsula charger will be at? I think a great location would be at the main and vine shopping plaza. This higher end grocery store/plaza would be a good place. Keeping my fingers crossed.

So a week or so ago, I'm at the North Houston combined SuperCharger and Showroom. I deliberately ran down my SOC to about 3 RM to see what kind of current the chargers would give me. Since it was close to dawn, I had all six SuperChargers to myself. Temperatures were hovering around 27ºF, and...

You arrive to a SuperCharger with 15% or less State of Charge (SoC). The Supercharger is empty, except for you. Ambient temperatures are room temperature or colder, but above freezing. Your car is in good condition/repair. What is the lowest kW you think is reasonable to expect during the first...

We visited Disneyland on Friday (1/6/17) and found they were diverting cars to offsite parking at 8:00am! I looped around Katella to Harbor to Ball and pulled up to the people at the cones blocking the entrance to the ramp. To my surprise as I got closer they moved the cones out of the way. When...

Building an app called Electrip that can plan your route for you using both Tesla Superchargers and every other charger. Electrip is going to take care of choosing the best route, which stations you should stop at based on your battery status, and will update as the status of your conditions...

ChargePoint just released the First charger on the market that blows the Tesla Supercharger out of the water. With the ability to charge at 400KW, using technology already found in Tesla Superchargers. The CEO of the company has also said that he would install a Tesla plug if Tesla worked with...

I recently decided it's time to update my current setup in the garage. I currently have a NEMA 14-50R installed, wired directly to my main panel in the basement, into which I plug my UMC. Additionally, my garage has a single 120V outlet and two single light bulbs on the ceiling. Since these are...

Hello all; I'm about to purchase a few OpenEVSE's to install EVSEs at home, at work and build a mobile one like the Fivari charger to charge 3 phase, single phase in Europe. (whatever I have available) I believe I've looked at everything available online during research, however there's no one...

I sent an email to a mall to complain about the ICEing problem. Seems like really nobody can do anything about it... How unfortunate. This is their response:

open....anybody there.....pics......☮☮☮

Found this today: "The Governors of Colorado, Utah and Nevada today jointly announced that they will work together over the next year to develop complementary plans for building an electric vehicle charging network across key highway corridors in their states. The corridors will include...

I saw a disturbing video of a line ~21 deep in Barstow... no doubt some of these cars only needed a few kWh to make it where they were going... I thought it'd be interesting to see the communities response to the idea of an 'Express Bay'. Where idle fees start after ~15 minutes or so. IMO this...

Didn't see this posted yet, apologies if it was. Elon Musk teases new ‘Tesla Supercharger V3’ with over 350 kW power output and off-grid solar + Powerpacks

I am looking to see if there is a spreadsheet or map of ALL known chargers that you can use? Not JUST the Tesla superchargers but ones that are equivalent or can be used for daily travel to and from customers etc. I have a google maps map that I made with all my customer locations and would...

Rather than write my review up in more than one place, I've written it on my blog. I'm sure the veterans know all what I've written, but if you're interested, have a look: Tesla Model S P85+: Two-Year Review

I am planning a cross country road trip this summer and I've read a bunch of posts that paint a clear picture that there is quite a bit of variability in how enjoyable a Supercharger stop can be based on factors like: number of stalls, congestion, nearby food/drink options, etc. Is there an...

There is ICEing. And there is this guy.

Supercharger | Tesla Looks bit more filled out then the 2016 map, hope the can at least finish what that had for planed 2015 in 2017. ;)

Pulled into the main Montreal 12 slot SC last night as I was nearing 40 km of available range. What I saw floored me! 6 Teo Montreal Tesla taxis sitting there charging. They were a combination of Model S 60D's and Model S's. This isn't right! They should be charging elsewhere shouldn't they? I...

(Oops, posted in wrong group, please ignore) I had one Wall Connector that did: 35 mi/hr 230V 48/80A I just added another one and daisy chained and now they charge at: 13 mi/hr 230V 20/20A Model S 75D 4 mi/hr 230V 20/20A Model X 90D The batteries are super cold right now (they where...

Okay, so you spend a lot of time over the weekend availing yourself of free power that someone is making available to the community. The least you could do is put the paddle back in the holster instead of leaving it in a snowbank! You do know these things don't work when they're wet...
