Do you really want people to do that math for you?So we currently pay 0.06872c pkwh. So how much then to fill up my tesla model y with 74kw battery?
Well when you are not math savy you need hgelp figuring it out. That is the point of the forums. Now that I am understranding it a little better I can try to make sense of it all.Do you really want people to do that math for you?
I installed a Tesla wall connect in 3 different detached garages at two houses 300 miles apart, one extremely rural. I had to run a 60 amp line out to each garage and a separate electrical panel for the two locations. the electrician bill for each was about $1000 but if felt it was absolutely necessary and does add to the value of the property. Plus about $450 for each tesla wall connector/ charger. Money very well spent. Talk to an electrician to see what can be done in your situation and meet code requirements. for me, the additional electric panels are in the garage. And in one case, I needed an additional panel type thing on the side of the house, I think to get enough juice. You will love a Tesla. Your parents will find some of the technology daunting to learn ( read the manual!! More than once!,,). but once it is set up to their preferences ( pay attention to safety features on door locks, etc ) they will be fine. Be absolutely certain to read about cold weather driving and pay attention to what it says. ive had no problems With range, battery, or the car in any way. Love my X. I am not young and a long way from a techy. just believe in the value of reading. Best To you and your parents.My parents are originally from India. Anyhow house was built 1980. And I was not complaining about the cost. I was simply wondering if I could piggy back off the central vac or not. I said nothing about the cost. My cousin said Tesla is the safest car in the world. Any compared to other electrics Tesla wins hands down most of the time. So if I can't install a separate dedicated 220 or 240v outlet then a Tesla is out of the question. Or any electric for the matter. Cost is secondary as long as I have the space in my breaker box as TRONGUY said. And it's maybe a 1,000 as somebody said. Not 10,000. Cost is secondary. I need to see if I have space and where I am going to stick the outlet. Cost will be determined after I see if I can even add an extra outlet in my garage.
A good chunk are Uber drivers and sadly many probably don’t know about preconditioning their vehicle ahead of time. So that takes another 30-45 minutes if the charger first needs to warm up the battery to accept the charge. This just exacerbates the problem.LOL, the concern about cold weather Chicago is genuine. Its all over the news.
Why Teslas Are Dying in Chicago’s Freezing Cold Weather
Tow trucks and long lines at charging stations are common sights this winter for EV owners—and the reason has to do with the batteries.www.thedailybeast.com
Unfortunately not everyone is savvy enough. I also read a post where one uber driver had 50 miles of charge left and the SC was 10 miles away. His vehicle died before he could reach the SC with preconditioning.A good chunk are Uber drivers and sadly many probably don’t know about preconditioning their vehicle ahead of time.

When I travel through Chicago, I always fill up well outside the city to avoid this. Tesla fortunately is adding a 50 site charger in the area.
I would suspect that there were a few more details they left out. Like maybe they did one or two Uber calls between (and sitting in with climate on while waiting) when they checked and when they actually went to the SC.Unfortunately not everyone is savvy enough.

Or, let Tesla know so they can get ahead of the onslaught. Obviously this isn't normally a problem but the triple whammy of charger failures/stall failures, higher consumption and slower charging means cold areas with a lot of Uber/Lyft drivers would need more stalls.If Lyft and Uber are going to push BEV rentals for drivers, they need to build some of their own charging infrastructure too.
It will be bad if slow charging Uber bolts start hogging up tesla superchargers. I wish Tesla made the stipulation that EVs allowed must at least be capable of 120kw.Or, let Tesla know so they can get ahead of the onslaught.

There is a planned 52-stall Supercharger near O'Hare that would have helped.
That's what Revel in NYC is doing. They have their own charging infrastructure for their fleet.Glad I have L2 charging in my garage at home, so I never have to supercharge in the city of Chicago. BEV noobs with rentals and ride share drivers seem like the biggest issue during the recent dip in temps.

I would say that's the case in any climate. I love everything about EV ownership (we have 2) living in a house with level 2 chargers installed, but if I was an apartment/condo dweller without home charging available, I don't think I'd want to own an EV at this point even if where I live had perfect weather year round.Owning an EV in a climate with harsh winters without a home charging option seems highly unpleasant.
Bingo. The apt/condo situation is what's gonna keep us from hitting the completely unrealistic goal of BEVs only by 2035. I think in every area superchrarging or 3rd party charging costs more (now) than home charging. If you don't have a place to install your own charger then that means your operating costs are higher simply based on your dwelling. As BEVs are pushed more and more people will start squawking about this discrepancy.I would say that's the case in any climate.
