Charging Standards

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...

2 Supercharger for South Korea open now. Asia total: 150 Locations with 651 Stalls New this week: * Gaoxin Xi'an in China (4 Stalls) * Cheonan in South Korea (6 Stalls) * Seoul - Gangnam in South Korea (5 Stalls) Found on www.tesla.com

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...

tesla.aine.ch - Supercharger Europe - Problems (overview for TESLA, mobile and desktop) is now online. You can enter ALL problems in Europe directly. Just click the pin and then click Status. You will be directed to a site (the correct SuC preselected and your own tffUserID (if entered before...

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...

work started on the supercharger at the Hy Vee at the Lake Ozark

United States data only: TESLA SUMMARY REPORT OF CHARGERS 050317 Temporary chargers: 1 Permanent chargers: 356 Expect in 2017: 277 Expect in 2018: 0 Expect TBD: 66 Strong wall connectors: 1317 Normal wall connectors: 879 Sum Supercharger stalls per US: 2536 Sum...

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).

Given the recent updated 2017 Charger roll-out map that shows 78 new SuperCharger sites coming to California and another 24 sites coming to Texas, I extrapolate that Tesla is trying for 463 new SuperCharger sites in the U.S. alone in 2017. Given that Tesla has added about 16 sites YTD, this...

I noticed the nice little artist's rendering showing the proposed new supercharger sites. Obviously we don't expect them all to look like that, but it got me thinking. If they DID make the covered stalls with solar power and tossed in some of their industrial battery packs, would that even...

I've got an original Blink ESVE at home. It's 7 years old now, and beginning to exhibit traits that it may be time for a new ESVE (e.g. it has shut off a few times), It's a bit more complex that it really needs to be. It has features I've never used, like charging cost calculations, web...

I go to car shows and other events and at times I get the question how much does it cost per charge at home, increase in electric bill, ect.... We have solar panels, got them month before Model S. Because we get energy from the panels too, I can't calculate how much energy I am using nor the...

Charging Is Our Priority As Tesla prepares for our first mass-market vehicle and continues to increase our Model S and Model X fleet, we’re making charging an even greater priority. It is extremely important to us and our mission that charging is convenient, abundant, and reliable for all...

My buddy just sent me this photo - we are getting superchargers at the Meier in Bolingbrook, IL!

BMW puts 100 EV charging stations at US parks, starting with most ironic one ever Deal with it. Now aren't you glad you own a Tesla :). I seriously believe all companies (other than the chosen one) are actively doing their BEST to show the public how bad EVs and charging can be. It honestly...

So, I'm noticing lots of poorly maintained databases for chargers. I'm thinking specifically of Tesla and Chargepoint that are extremely slow to correct wrong locations or deactivated chargers in their databases. This bothers me because people are starting to rely on these locations to book...

Can anyone tell me when the Rocksprings supercharger will be operational??

Newby question (sorry if asking the obvious!) My 2014 Model S came with a blue charging cable and a BMW charger (dont ask!). The BMW charger has a UK 3 pin plug and charges at about 6 miles per hour which is ok I guess. Where can I use the blue cable? I assume it is for use at places where any...

Is there any website where I learn about other charging networks other than the supercharger network. I would like to mention Source and Destination location and would like to see all the chargers in between.

Hi, For fun I created an animation of the growth of supercharger locations in North America over the last 4 years. Huge thanks to who ever maintains supercharge.info as that is where the data came from. Not sure if embedding a large animated gif will work so here is the twitter link. GEOLYTIX...

Last weekend, I decided to drive from the Antelope Valley (just East of LA) to the San Jose area and I chose to make the trip without using Tesla's Supercharger network--sounds stupid, I know, and I already made a post talking a little about the experience here... but I thought that the...

I've not been to that many superchargers, but during our current road trip I was surprised to see the Richmond VA SC full while driving up to visit friends in Alexandria: With the Model 3 coming out, I sure hope all those additional supercharger locations are added soon! One more reason to...

I'm not a big fan of driving through the rough parts of town in my Daddy-warbucksmobile. Having said that, I'm noticing that the presence of chargers, particularly the privately-owned-and-shared charger, is a good proxy for good neighborhoods -- and that their absence indicates a place that is...

Hello, I am doing a project for a senior marketing class and we are studying Tesla. If any of you could take a few minutes to take this survey, we would greatly appreciate it! It should only take about 5 minutes and will be used for class purposes only. Thanks! Tesla Motors Survey

I'm not sure if this has already been posted, but I was on my way to Vegas today, and stopped at Barstow, and now there are 12 supercharging stations, the original 8 and now 2 twin "semi-portable" stations have been installed!!
