I recently did the CCS conversion on my Model 3, and picked up a CCS adapter. I've also been checking pricing to see how Tesla Supercharger rates compare to 3rd parties since the recent price hikes on Superchargers. Its very eye opening. I've included some photos taken from the Nav on the Model 3 showing the rates for some TN, GA and FL superchargers that I always visit. When comparing to the 3rd parties, I chose Electrify America as they seem to have the most mature and fastest network out there so far.
Their pricing model is pretty straight forward: there are two "plans", one free and one paid at $4 / month.
The "free" plan from Electrify America has the following rates in Tennessee and Georgia:
1 - 90 kW: $0.16/min
1 - 350 kW: $0.32/min
Their $4 a month plan has the following rates in TN and GA:
1 - 90 kW: $0.12/min
1 - 350 kW:$0.24/min
Now, seeing as how you're going to pull more than 90kW for the vast majority of your charging session, we're going to look at their 1-350kW rates. Even at the "free" plan of $0.32/min its FAR FAR cheaper than using a Tesla Supercharger in most areas. Lets take Pigeon Forge for example, probably one of the most expensive Superchargers I've been to in the South East.
The Tesla rate for Pigeon Forge is:
180-250kW: $1.25/min.
100-180kW: $0.76/min.
Considering that you can use a third party Electrify America Station there in Kodak (at the Harley Davidson place right off the exit) you can charge for SUBSTANTIALLY CHEAPER there than if you charged at the Pigeon Forge Supercharger. And as you can see from the screenshots of the Tesla prices in TN and GA, that same story rings true just about everywhere. Electrifiy America always beats Supercharger prices by a wide margin. In TN and GA, EV chargers are restricted to sell by the minute, as opposed to by the kWh. Buying by the kWh makes the most sense in my opinion, as it makes comparison much easier.
The story is the same in Florida, where EV chargers are allowed to sell electricity at a per kWh rate. For Electrify America (EA), they have two rates again:
The EA "free" plan is: $0.43/kWh.
The EA $4/month plan rate is: $0.31 kWh.
The average Tesla Supercharger in Florida rate is around $0.42 kWh. So, I am going to be buying the Electrify America $4 month plan, and using their network whenever I possibly can, and skipping the often times lined up superchargers. I'll pay less for the energy and won't have to wait.
