Hi all, With the hefty price tag on a CHAdeMo adapter that is coming soon from tesla, I thought, since it is a Niche charging adapter, used mostly for road trips, it would make it possible to split, so I was curious if anyone wanted to split the cost. I already have 1 other person locally (in Milwaukee County) that is interested in splitting a adapter.
Ideally, Looking for 4, possibly 5 people to split the cost. So at 4 people, it comes to $250 each, at 5 people, $200 each.
I live in Greendale, By Southridge Mall, and not too far off the freeway. What I am setting up, is a outdoor cabinet on the side of my garage, right below my charging port. Items in the cabinet will be free to use by anyone splitting the plug, each person in on the deal with get their own padlock key for 24/7 access.
Items that would then be in the cabinet: NEMA 14-50 Extension Cord, NEMA 14-30 to 14-50 Extension Cord Adapter(Dryer Outlet), 120v Extension Cord, Adapter to convert the 5-15 or 5-20 12v UMC adapters so that they can plug into a 240v 20 amp outlet, allows charge at either 12 or 16 amps 240v (Common for Hotel/Motel Air Conditioning Units), and what other connectors and adapters I happen to come up with.
Would also have in the cabinet a calander, so that if your planning a trip and need a specific item from the cabinet to take with you (the CHAdeMo adapter, a 240v extension cord etc...) you can reserve said items in advance. And of course, your free to charge on my NEMA 14-50 (in the evening 7pm-7am and weekends), day time charging please donate 30cents/kWh as I am on time of use and it can really add up.
Any interested parties? I know we have 6 or 7 Model S's in Milwaukee Already. So we have 2 people down, me and a friend, so we have the adapter down to $500 each, 3 people would be $333, 4 people $250, 5 People $200. I am not going to do more then 5, as then we are starting to get the adapter crowded.
And one last idea, if we get 4 or less people interested, I am considering Renting out the adapter during times when none of the owners of the adapter are using it or are planning on using it. Maybe rent it for $30 to $50/trip depending on length of trip. The money would go to reimburse ourselves for cost of the adapter. And maybe over time, that would add up enough for all of us to get our own adapter (if so desired).
Thoughts? Interest? I already am on the reservation list for the adapter from Tesla, so will be contacted asap once its ready.
